Insurance - including Workers Compensation, MAIB
Third-party funders will be invoiced based on Australian Association of Psychologists Incorporated (AAPi) recommended fees; or the funder's recommended fee schedule, in which case it should be noted that they are receiving a discounted service. The standard fee recommended for a 45-60 minute consultation is $330 , plus GST. Trauma focused therapy appointments are recommended to be of longer duration (61-90 minutes) and will be charged accordingly. Please check with your insurer on their policies around referral to psychological services. Ideally, a case manager/coordinator should provide details on the nature of the service expected and any billing and reporting requirements.

Organisations
Case meetings and commissioned services will be charged based on Australian Association of Psychologists Incorporated (AAPi) recommended fees. The standard fee recommended for a 45-60 minute consultation is $330.
-
Private Health
Please contact your private health care fund directly to determine eligibility for rebates. You will be charged the fee for your appointment at the time of your appointment, and will need to address any claims directly with your insurer.
*Services are provided at the lowest rates possible. For privately paying individuals, this is significantly below the AAPi and APS fee schedules for psychological services, which can be found here and here.
My standard fees for clients supported by third-party funding agreements are charged at the full rate recommended by the AAPi and APS (higher than the discounted fee I charge for unfunded clients). This accounts for the unbillable hours and administrative burden that arises when working with insurers and other interested parties, ensures the ongoing viability of the service, and allows me to provide a more affordable service for those who do not have access to third-party insurance.
