Psychologist Fees, Costs & Rebates for Psychology Sessions

Q: How much does it cost to see a psychologist?

Session fees range from $225 to $282, depending on the type of appointment and clinician. If you have a valid referral and Mental Health Care Plan, your out-of-pocket cost is usually around $140 per session.

Q: Do you offer bulk billing?

No, Pynk Health does not bulk bill. However, Medicare rebates are available for eligible clients with a Mental Health Care Plan.

Q: How do I get a Medicare rebate?

You’ll need a referral and Mental Health Care Plan from your GP or psychiatrist. After each session, we can process the rebate for you, or you can lodge the claim yourself through Medicare.

Q: Can I use private health insurance?

Yes. Most private health funds offer rebates for psychology sessions, though the rebate amount depends on your policy. Some clients use both private health and Medicare at different times during the year.

Q: Do you accept NDIS funding?

Yes. We support self-managed, plan-managed and agency-managed participants. Our fees follow the NDIS Pricing Arrangements, and our team will ensure you understand your plan and payments before you begin.

Q: How often can I attend therapist sessions?

It’s flexible. Many clients attend weekly, some fortnightly or monthly. We will work with you to find a rhythm that feels right.

Q: How do I pay for my session?

Payment is made via credit card, debit card or direct deposit on the day of your session unless your appointment is funded through the NDIS. We also offer Afterpay and Zip Pay if you'd prefer to pay in installments.

Q: Do you offer in-clinic sessions?

No. All of our therapy sessions are conducted via Telehealth, video or phone call. Along with our extended opening hours on weekdays and weekends, this gives you much more flexibility to book your sessions at a time that suits you. Plus you can pick a therapist who may not be located near you, which gives you much more options to find a therapist that suits you.

ADHD & ASD Assessment Fees

Our ADHD and ASD assessments are completed over 2-3 consultations and involve a range of tests concluding with an explanation of the results and outcome, along with a detailed report.

ADHD assessment – $2,300
ASD assessment – $2,000

Payment for assessment fees will be required in full, prior to the first appointment. Unfortunately, there is no Medicare rebate available for these assessments.

Psychology Services Under the NDIS

We welcome NDIS participants and support all types of funding arrangements. Our services are delivered as Capacity Building supports, and fees are set in line with the official NDIS Pricing Arrangements.

We work with:

Self-managed participants – you pay upfront and claim the cost back through your plan
Plan-managed participants – your plan manager pays us directly
Agency-managed participants – the NDIA pays Pynk Health directly

All fees and payment processes are explained clearly before your first session.

Our Cancellation Policy

Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice – Cancellations must be made at least 24 business hours before your appointment. Business hours are Monday to Friday only (excluding weekends and public holidays). Full session fee applies
Missed appointments (no-shows) – Full session fee applies

Why does the cancellation fee apply?

The session time was reserved solely for you, and at such short notice it cannot be offered to another client.

Missed appointments mean that clients who may urgently require support miss the chance to access care.

Consistency in attendance is a vital part of the therapeutic process and supports long-term progress.

Charging the full session fee for no-shows is industry standard and recommended by the Australian Psychological Society.

These fees are not covered by Medicare or any other third party and are your responsibility.
