Fees & rebates
At Salvado, we’re a private practice which means session fees apply, but Medicare and private health insurance rebates may reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
We’ll walk you through the costs before your first appointment, so there are no surprises.
(All fees are reviewed periodically and may change. For queries about an upcoming appointment, contact reception.)
Psychology
Psychology session fees range from $215 – $290 per session. Medicare rebates are available for up to 10 sessions per calendar year under the Better Access initiative.
$98.95 or $145.25 per session
(depending on the registration of your psychologist)
To access a Medicare rebate, you’ll need:
A referral and Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, or
A referral from a psychiatrist or paediatrician
