How fees, Medicare rebates and concession rates work at Fleurieu Psychology Services.
Fees depend on whether you see a Clinical Psychologist, a Registered Psychologist or a Provisional Psychologist. The full fee is payable at the end of each session, and where a current GP referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan are in place, Medicare refunds the rebate to you.
| Rate | Fee | Rebate | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full fee | $220.00 | $149.05 | $70.95 |
| Concession fee | $175.00 | $149.05 | $25.95 |
| Rate | Fee | Rebate | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full fee | $175.00 | $101.55 | $73.45 |
| Concession fee | $129.00 | $101.55 | $27.45 |

Provisional psychologists have completed their university training and are undertaking the final stage of supervised practice under a Board-approved psychologist. Medicare rebates are not available for appointments with provisional psychologists, and these sessions are offered at a lower fee.
Psychological assessments are charged as a set fee rather than per session. Please contact our reception team at Christies Beach on (08) 8326 4354 to confirm the fee that applies to your situation and what the assessment involves before booking.

With a GP referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan you can claim a Medicare rebate on each session. Under the Better Access to Mental Health scheme, clients can access up to ten visits per calendar year, with a maximum of six sessions per GP referral.
Once the sessions on your referral have been used, you will need a new referral from your GP before your next appointment with us, and you must see your GP first. If a new referral is not in place the session is not covered by Medicare, and it is billed at the usual full or concession fee with no rebate.
The full appointment fee is payable at the end of each session.
For eligible Medicare appointments, we can process your rebate immediately through our EFTPOS terminal, provided you have a debit card linked to a savings or cheque account. Medicare rebates cannot be refunded to a credit card.
Alternatively, we can submit your Medicare claim electronically, with the rebate generally deposited into your Medicare-registered bank account within a few business days.
You can also choose to claim the rebate yourself through Medicare via myGov.
GP referral with a Mental Health Treatment Plan.
No referral needed. Please refer to the session fee table for current fees.
Clients holding a current Health Care Card or other government concession card are offered a reduced rate.
Accounts are sent directly to the paying agency — Workcover, the Motor Accident Commission, Return to Work SA and similar — where a claim has been approved. Please give us your case manager’s name and claim number before your first appointment. If the claim is not approved at the time of your visit, you are responsible for the account and will need to arrange reimbursement with your claims manager.
The following cancellation policy will apply from 1 November 2026.
We understand that circumstances change and appointments sometimes need to be rescheduled. Please give us as much notice as you can, so the time can be offered to another client who is waiting for a consultation.
A $50 non-attendance fee may be charged where an appointment is missed without 24 hours’ notice, and this fee is the client’s responsibility rather than a paying agency’s. We encourage clients to book ahead so they can attend regularly — please note that if an appointment is not attended and we have not been advised in advance, all future appointments booked will be cancelled.
If you get a referral to see a psychologist at Fleurieu Psychology Services and a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP you will be able to access a rebate under the Better Access Mental Health Scheme from Medicare. If you prefer not to go to your doctor you can come as a private client and will not need a referral, however, you will not be eligible to get a rebate from Medicare.
Up to ten visits per calendar year, with a maximum of six sessions per GP referral. A new referral is needed once those sessions are used.
