Fees

Payment in full is required at the time of the appointment and can be made via cash, debit/credit card, or mobile payment. As a courtesy service, Medicare rebates can usually be processed on the spot via EFTPOS directly back into the client’s bank account. While every effort is made to assist with rebate processing, responsibility for ensuring rebate eligibility and successful processing ultimately rests with the client.

  • Standard 50 minute appointment: $230
  • Extended 75-90 minute appointment (EMDR therapy reprocessing session): $340
  • Report writing: $140 plus GST per 30 minutes
  • QEEG Brain Map assessments: $535 (90–120 minute appointment). Additional appointments are required for intake and assessment feedback, and are charged at the standard consultation rate. Written reports are available for an additional fee, depending on the nature of the report requested.
  • Third-party funded appointments are based on the APS recommended schedule of fees.
