Cost & funding

Fees depend on the service, the provider and the length of the session. Ask each provider for their fees before the first visit.

If an ADHD assessment is the next step, it usually starts with your GP, who can refer your child to a paediatrician. With a GP referral, Medicare pays a rebate for the paediatrician visit. Ask each provider for the full cost of an assessment before you book. Medicare also pays a rebate for some psychology sessions when your GP writes a Mental Health Treatment Plan.

If your child has an NDIS plan that includes these supports, you can use it. If your plan is self-managed or plan-managed, you can also use providers that are not NDIS registered. If the NDIA manages your plan, you must use registered providers.

What to expect at the start

  1. First conversation

    Most psychologists spend the first session on background: what led you to seek help, your family and your child's history. Some psychologists see parents alone first.

  2. Questionnaires

    You may fill in questionnaires. The psychologist may ask to contact your child's school or kindergarten.

  3. A plan for sessions

    The psychologist explains how treatment could work. With a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan, Medicare pays part of the cost: 6 sessions to start, then up to 10 a year.
