Fees & Rebates

 

Next Chapter Health service fees vary depending on who you see and the type of session you have.

Our psychologists are happy to work with clients who have third-party funding, such as the NDIS (self and plan managed), WorkSafe Victoria, Traffic Accident Commission and Victims of Crime.

Our provisional psychologists are completing their Psychology Board approved internship at Next Chapter Health and offer clients a low-cost service.

 

  • Psychology Sessions

    Standard sessions are $200 for a 50-minute appointment, but allow up to an hour.

    WorkSafe and Traffic Accident Commission (TAC) sessions may have a gap fee of up to $15.

  • Clinical Supervision Sessions

    Standard sessions are $200 for a one hour appointment. This fee includes GST where applicable. There are no rebated available for clinical supervision.

  • Medicare Rebates for Psychology Sessions

    For clients with a current and valid GP referral, a Medicare rebate of $96.65 per session may be available, reducing the out of pocket cost.

    It is best to send us the GP referral for review prior to your session so we can confirm your eligibility for the Medicare rebate.

  • Private Health Insurance Claims

    Clients that have Extras or Ancillary health insurance coverage may be able to claim for psychology sessions. Clients cannot claim from Medicare and private health insurance for the same session. Note: HCF requires all Medicare entitlements to be used before claiming with them.

  • Reports and Support Letters

    To ensure accuracy, treatment reports and support letters can only be prepared by your clinician if you have attended 3 or more appointments, to ensure

    A fee of $200 per hour is charged for your psychologist’s clinical expertise and time taken to prepare reports and support letters. A one page letter typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour, so costs between $100 to $200. Comprehensive or assessment reports typically take 4 to 8 hours of work. Medicare rebates are not available for reports or support letters.

    Reports and support letters will take a minimum of two weeks from the date of request. Click here to submit a request for a support letter or report.

  • Cancellations

    We value your time as well as our own and work hard to provide timely support to our clients.

    As such, we ask for at least 24 hours notice if you are unable to attend your scheduled appointment.

    This enables us to offer the session to someone else needing support and keeps Next Chapter Health financially viable so that we can continue helping all of our clients.

    For these reasons, we apply a cancellation fee of 50% for appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice or not attended without informing us.
