Appointment Terms
and Rates
Sessions with an Astra Psychology psychologist will be arranged at a time that best suits you. Sessions start on the hour and will run for 50 minutes.
We understand that sometimes it is not always possible to attend appointments; barriers sometimes get in the way. If that happens, we ask that you provide us with at least 24 hours’ notice, otherwise we will need to request payment of the full fee for the session.
You will be able to claim reimbursement for part of the cost of each session through Medicare if your GP has provided you with a Mental Health Treatment Plan. You will need to bring that Plan with you at the first appointment.
You may also be able to claim some reimbursement for part of the cost of each session from your private health insurer, if you have one. You will need to verify this with your insurer, as terms and conditions vary between insurers.
Psychology Rates
Our fee for each session is $200.00, payable within 24 hours of the session.
This is for each individual session of 50 minutes.
Fees will vary in the event of couple counselling or family counselling; please speak with us about this.
Fees will also vary if the session lasts longer than 50 minutes.
