Fees

HGC Psychology is committed to providing accessible, high-quality psychological care to the Bacchus Marsh community. While the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and Australian Association of Psychologists Inc. (AAPi) recommend a fee of $330 per session, HGC Psychology charges below that rate.

Standard appointment fee

$240 per 50-minute session.

All fees are payable in full on the day of each appointment, unless funding has been arranged through an external agency such as NDIS, VCAT, TAC, or an employer.

Reduced rates are available for clients holding a valid concession or health care card. Please contact HGC Psychology to discuss.

Medicare rebates

Medicare rebates apply for eligible clients. To access a rebate, you will need a GP referral and a valid Mental Health Care Plan.

As a clinical psychologist, Dr Kara Granger attracts the higher Medicare rebate of $145.25 per session, meaning the out-of-pocket cost per appointment is significantly reduced for eligible clients.

Please note HGC Psychology is not a bulk billing practice.

Private health insurance

Private health insurance rebates may apply depending on your level of cover. Please check with your insurer prior to your appointment.

Clinical supervision fees

Individual supervision sessions start from $200 including GST per hour. Group and organisational supervision rates are negotiated based on format and the number of participants. Please contact HGC Psychology to discuss your specific needs.

Report writing

Report writing is charged at $330 per hour. Reports will not be released until all associated fees have been paid in full.

Cancellation Policy

We understand that life doesn’t always go to plan. If you need to reschedule or cancel an appointment, please provide at least 24 hours notice so that the time can be offered to another client.

Cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice will incur the full appointment fee. This policy exists because psychology appointments are in high demand and late cancellations are difficult to fill at short notice.
