The current recommended fee as set by the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and Australian Association of Psychologists Inc. (AAPi) is $330 per 40 to 60 minutes session, however, HGC PSYCHOLOGY have decided to provide services below that rate.
Standard psychological appointment fees are $240 (50-minute session). All fees are payable in full on the day of each appointment, unless clients have been granted funding by an external agency (e.g., NDIS, VCAT, TAC, Employer etc.).
Please note Private Health Insurance and Medicare rebates may apply for eligible clients, although HGC PSYCHOLOGY is not a bulk billing practice. Medicare will refund a portion of the appointment fee and you will incur an out-of-pocket expense (standard psychology Medicare rebates range from $89.65 to $145.25 per appointment). Dr Kara Granger, as a Clinical Psychologist, can provide a Medicare rebate of $145.85 to eligible clients. To access the Medicare rebate, you will need to obtain a referral from your GP and a mental health care plan. Reduced rates are also available for those holding a valid concession or health care card.
Supervision sessions start from $200 including GST per hour. Group supervision rates are negotiated depending upon your needs and the number of participants.
Report writing is charged at $330 per hour. Reports will not be released until all associated fees are paid.
Cancellation Policy
At times, life happens, and you may need to reschedule or cancel your appointment. We ask that you provide at least 24 hours notice otherwise a cancellation fee will apply. Psychology appointments are in high demand and providing notice allows us to fill your appointment time with somebody else from our waiting list. If under 24 hours notice is provided, the full appointment fee will be charged.
