Our Mental Health Assessment and Report Fees generally cover all aspects of your assessment and writing your general, medico-legal, or court report.
Fees for a one hour General and/or Forensic Mental Health Counselling / Treatment Session or a Standard Mental Health Treatment Session cover 45 minutes of face-to-face time with your clinician, as well as an additional 15 minutes after your appointment for the clinician to write up notes an make any necessary referrals.
Counselling / Treatment fees remain the responsibility of the client and are payable immediately after the treatment session.
A detailed breakdown of all our fees is outlined below. Counselling / treatment and assessment sessions are generally GST free, while all other fees marked with an asterisk (*) have GST included.
Medicare rebates are available for all counselling and treatment sessions. Please note that the rebate is processed following full payment for the session and does not cover the whole amount.
We accept American Express, Visa, MasterCard, EFTPOS, bank deposit (details on the invoice), or cash. Unfortunately, we do not accept cheques.
We accept Legal Aid referrals. Please contact us if you or your client requires a court report as part of a Legal Aid Grant.
