REFERRALS:

Referrals are accepted from:

  • Parents (your child or adolescents does not need a referral from their GP or any other professional to access services).
  • General Practitioners.
  • School Psychologists.
  • Psychiatrists
  • Paediatricians
  • Speech Pathologists.

FEES:

While the recommended fee set out by the Australian Psychological Association (APS) is $300 per hour (until June 2024), every attempt has been made to reduce the costs for services provided at Psychology House comparative to those recommended by the APS.  Fees for services relating to assessment work are determined following client consultation and are based on the individual needs of the client.  Please make contact to discuss your child’s needs and a fee can be provided for the assessment required.

Medicare & Private Health Insurance Information:

Please note that psychological and educational assessments are generally not covered by Medicare (even with a GP mental health plan, as such plans are designed to cover mental health and counselling only).  Private health insurers may cover elements of this process, but this is very dependent on the individual insurer, and you are encouraged to investigate this with them directly.

NDIS Funding:

Psychology House provides services to self-managed and plan managed clients only. Psychology House is not a registered NDIS provider.

Most services are currently exempt from GST

PRIVACY:

Psychology House respects your privacy and complies with the National Privacy Principles identified in the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000.

The information collected by Psychology House will be used to assist in providing more targeted and appropriate support and enable approved individuals to be contacted regarding information that may be of use in supporting the young person and / or their parent/guardian.  It will also assist in keeping the Psychology House database accurate and up to date.
