Fees and funding
Fees for assessment work are determined following client consultation and are based on the individual needs of the client.
Referrals
Referrals are accepted from:
- Parents (your child or adolescent does not need a referral from their GP or any other professional to access services)
- General Practitioners
- School Psychologists
- Psychiatrists
- Paediatricians
- Speech Pathologists
- Occupational Therapists
- Other Allied Health Professionals
Fees
The fee depends on the individual assessment need. All fees are clearly outlined and agreed upon prior to commencement of services. Fees reflect ethical practice and high-quality comprehensive assessments, and Samantha’s fees are below the Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommended rates. Please make contact to discuss your child’s needs and a fee can be provided for the assessment required.
If an assessment is recommended, the initial consultation is included in the assessment fee and is not an additional charge. Most services are currently exempt from GST.
Medicare and private health insurance
Psychoeducational assessments are not covered by Medicare, even with a GP mental health plan, because those plans cover mental health care and counselling only. Some private health insurers cover parts of the process, depending on the insurer and your level of cover, so please check with your provider before making your booking.
NDIS funding
Psychology House works with self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants only. It is not a registered NDIS provider.
