Our Fees
P&L Psychology provides a range of ways that clients can access affordable psychological services.
Affordable psychological services are available for eligible private clients and group therapy with low gap fees and significant rebates from Medicare. Bulk-billing for clients who have current health care and pension cards may be negotiated directly with the psychologist.
Clients with worker’s compensation claims or approved Employee Assistance Schemes can also access psychology services with no out of pocket expenses.
Medicare Rebates
Medicare rebates are available for psychological treatment under the Australian Government’s Better Access to Mental Health Care initiative. If eligible, under this initiative you can receive up to 10 individual sessions in a calendar year. Your referring doctor will assess your progress after the first 6 sessions). You may also be eligible for up to 10 group therapy services in a calendar year. To access the Medicare Rebate, your GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician will need to complete a Mental Health Treatment Plan before referring you to P&L Psychology. Please contact our office, your GP, Psychiatrist or Paediatrician for more information or to see if you are eligible for this rebate.
Private Health Funds
Our psychologists are registered with most private health insurers. If your insurer covers you under ‘extras cover’, you may be entitled to a rebate. Please speak with your private health insurer directly to see if you are eligible for a rebate from them.
Access to Allied Psychological Services (ATAPS)
The Department of Health and Aging has also recently introduced the Access to Allied Psychological Services (ATAPS). If eligible for this service your GP can refer you to an ATAPS registered psychologist for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. These sessions can be individual or group therapy sessions and are designed to provide assistance for short-term therapy. Please discuss with your GP if you are eligible for ATAPS services.
