No, you do not need a referral for any of our services.

Hopefully! For Psychological Therapy this depends on whether you have a Mental Healthcare Plan from your GP or whether you’re covered for Psychological Therapy on your Private Heath Extras. It’s also handy to check if your private health funds cover for Online Therapy.

Although this can depend on the service and what you’ve discussed during the session, 50 minutes is our benchmark.

We have a strict late notice cancellation/rescheduling policy. The full appointment fee will be charged for any appointment movements within 24 hours, which is why we use email and text reminders to prompt early action if needed. 

Yes, our therapists take notes to enhance the service they are providing you. We’d love to think their memories are great; however, given we know a fair amount of psychological research in this area, we know that it’s important to have relevant details written down. All information is held in strict confidence and all files are kept securely through Halaxy. If you’re interested to know more about their privacy information, please head to www.halaxy.com.

Exceptions to this include:

• If your files are subpoenaed by a court
• If the Therapist’s failure to disclose information could place you or someone else at serious and imminent risk
• If your prior approval has been obtained to provide reports or discuss material with another person/stakeholder.

Please discuss any concerns with your therapist.

Our fees are dependent on the service you require; however, all fees are considerably lower than the Australian Psychological Society National Standard Recommended Fee of $251 per 45-60min appointment. We do offer a range of fees for concession card holders, dependent on the service required. Please contact us for more information.

All of our pricing information can be found on our About Page, here.
