Fees Funding & What's Next
Several funding pathways may contribute to the individual's cost of psychological services.
These may include Medicare rebates through a Mental Health Care Plan, NSW Police Access Treatment Initiative, Early Intervention Scheme, workers’ compensation and CTP insurance schemes, and private health insurance (where applicable).
Eligibility and rebate amounts vary depending on your individual circumstances and the funding program.
Standard fee
$290
50-60 minute session
Medicare rebates
Rebates require a GP Mental Health Care Plan and referral.
Ways To Get A Rebate
Beyond Medicare, several pathways can reduce or remove the cost of your sessions.
NSW Police Force Early Access Treatment Initiative
NSW Police Force members may be eligible for 100% reimbursement of gap fees for psychological services where there is a valid Mental Health Care Plan and an approved invoice.
EATI reimburses out-of-pocket expenses for support received under a Mental Health Treatment Plan from an eligible allied mental health service provider. It is a confidential program, independent to Workers Compensation, available to all NSWPF employees.

NDIS

SIRA / Workplace
Approved SIRA and CTP claims are generally billed directly to the insurer in accordance with scheme requirements. Where funding is approved, clients typically do not incur out-of-pocket costs for treatment. Please ensure you have approval from your insurer before your first session.
Cancellation policy
We ask for at least 48 hours' notice if you need to reschedule or cancel. Sessions cancelled with less notice may attract a cancellation fee, which Medicare and private health funds do not cover.
Getting Started
Four steps to your first session, we're happy to help at any point along the way.
Speak with your GP
Accessing Medicare Rebates
To access Medicare rebates for psychological treatment, you will generally need:
- A referral from your GP, psychiatrist, or paediatrician.
- A Mental Health Treatment Plan prepared by your GP (or an eligible psychiatrist/paediatrician referral).
- An initial course of treatment, after which your referring doctor may review your progress and provide further referral sessions if appropriate.
Medicare rebates are subject to eligibility requirements and current Medicare guidelines.
