Fees

​

The Australian Psychological Society recommends an hourly rate of $300 per session, However, we aim to keep fees reasonable and rates are set substantially below this. From July 1st 2023, our counselling standard consultation rates will range from $200-$250, depending on your selected psychologist. Our provisional psychologist charges reduced rates for consultations.

​

The Mind & Seek administrative team at our Aberfeldie location work onsite Monday to Friday. Payment needs to be made on the day of appointment. In our Belmont location, we have remote reception and payments are made via invoice.  Bank transfer is our preferred payment method. Please follow the instructions on the invoice to either process the payment via bank transfer or credit card over the phone. Medicare rebates can then be processed if eligible.
