Referrals & Fees

REFERRALS

You do not need a referral to access therapy at The Mind Studio. However, you may be eligible for rebated sessions under the Medicare Better Access Scheme with a referral from your GP. Schedule a long appointment with your GP to gain a Mental Health Treatment Plan.

The standard fee for a 50-minute session at The Mind Studio is $220.

Payment is required in full on the day of your appointment, and is processed automatically during your session to maximize your therapy time.

FEES

Medicare rebates are available for up to 10 sessions per calendar year for individuals with a Mental Health Treatment Plan. The current rebate for a 50-minute session with a clinical psychologist is $141.85, leaving you with an out-of-pocket cost of $78.15. Medicare rebates are processed automatically and funds will be deposited into your bank account.

Many private health insurance plans also cover psychological treatment. This varies depending on your specific insurance plan and level of coverage. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to find out more.
