Important to know:
- Appointment fees are required to be paid in full upon arrival for your appointment (or via phone before commencing a telehealth appointment)
- A fee of $110 applies for non-attendance or late cancellations (within 2 business days of the appointment). Payment is required before further appointments can be booked
- A non-refundable deposit of $110 is required for initial appointments. This is to be paid at the time of booking and will be credited towards the first appointment attended (or towards a non-attendance/late cancellation fee if applicable)
Medicare funding
Medicare rebates may be accessible via the 'Better Access scheme' if a valid Mental Health Care Plan referral is received from your GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician. Rebates are processed after you attend each of your eligible psychology appointments. There are two tiers of rebates, with a higher rebate becoming available after your out-of-pocket expenses during a calendar year pass your Medicare Safety Net threshold.
Further information about Medicare rebates and the Medicare Safety Net can be found here:
Medicare rebates may also be accessed via a or Chronic Disease Management Plan developed by your GP (or, a Chronic Condition Management Plan from July 2025 onwards), however the rebates are substantially lower than those under the Better Access scheme.
Private Health funding
Private Healthcare rebates may apply, depending on your cover, and would need to be applied for directly through your insurer. Item numbers/codes most commonly used are ‘I04’, ‘S04’, or ‘200’ or ‘300’. Most insurers do not provide rebates when Medicare rebates have already been accessed.
NDIS funding
Reimbursement of appointment fees from NDIS funding may be possible for those with self-managed funding, or with plan-managed funding. Fees for all sessions are set as per NDIA limits for plan-managed participants, and are equivalent for self-managing participants (i.e. $244.22 as at July 2024).
ADHD assessment fees and funding
'If a diagnostic assessment of ADHD is required, there is a once-off fee of $400, to be paid in addition to the appointment fees outlined above. This fee covers the materials and additional out-of-session time required for the psychologist to complete a thorough and accurate assessment. The fee would be charged at the end of the initial appointment, and payment would be required before the assessment could proceed. The fee is not refundable once the assessment is underway from there.
Whilst there is no Medicare rebate that can be accessed for this $400 fee, rebates may be accessed for the appointment fees incurred during the assessment. Assessments are typically completed across two appointments, following your initial appointment, however there are a range of reasons why an assessment can sometimes take a bit longer.
Assessment documentation fees
All ADHD assessments we conduct involve preparing clinical documents that explain how the assessment was conducted, and how diagnostic decisions were made. These are written for interpretation by other health professionals only, and the cost of preparing these documents is already covered by the once-off $400 fee. The cost of providing you with a letter that simply states whether an ADHD diagnosis was determined or otherwise is also covered under this fee.
Should you require a more extensive, formally written assessment 'report' (i.e. similar to a cognitive/educational assessment report), an additional fee would need to apply, and it would be estimated based on your specific requirements. Please note that for the very vast majority of people undergoing an ADHD assessment, a formal report like this is an unnecessary expense, and the clinical documents we prepare are more than adequate for their needs.
Parent/carer program fees and funding
The fee for our 'Supporting and coaching your child with ADHD' program is $450. This fee includes attendance at two three-hour workshops, and six months access to supporting online materials. The fee for a second parent/carer to attend the workshops is $100 (if attending the same workshop as the first parent/carer from their household, and if sharing a log-in to access the online content).
Medicare rebates are not currently available for this program, however enquiring about private health and/or NDIS funding may be worthwhile.
