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.

Medicare pays a rebate for some psychology sessions when your GP writes a Mental Health Treatment Plan and a referral first. The referral must come from your usual GP or your MyMedicare practice. Some private health extras policies pay part of the cost of psychology.

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.
