Fees and Rebates

Stepforth Psychology is committed to providing an accessible and high quality psychological treatment. Our fees are set below those recommended by the Australian Psychological Society (APS) which recommends $267 per consultation. For further details or a quote please contact us on 07 5355 6007.

To access our services you do not need a referral. You are more than welcome to contact us directly, however this will mean that the session fee will need to be covered by you.

Medicare
Stepforth Psychology is registered with Medicare. This means that Medicare is willing to fund a portion of your care to enable better access to mental health treatment for clinical psychology. To be eligible for a Medicare rebate you will require a referral from a general practitioner (GP), for a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan.

If you are eligible to receive a Mental Health Treatment Plan then you are entitled for the rebate of up to 20 sessions in a calendar year (1 January to 31 December). The Mental Health Treatment Plan referral expires 12 months after the date of issue. It is important that the referral is received before your initial consultation, so that you can receive the rebate from Medicare.

Private Health Insurance
Many health care funds provide rebates for psychology services. These will differ depending on your choice of healthcare fund and the level of cover you have. Please contact your provider to check eligibility requirements and reimbursement amounts.

National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
Stepforth Psychology is pleased to welcome clients from the NDIS. To access our service, please refer to your individualised plan to see what funding you have available for psychology services. We are happy to provide both clinical neuropsychology and clinical psychology services under the NDIS.

Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA)
Stepforth Psychology is pleased to welcome our veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA). To access this service, you will require a DVA referral form from your GP or another medical professional. Some limitations apply depending on the card you hold.

Please note: Clinical Neuropsychological assessment typically involves 4-5 hours of testing and a comprehensive report (charged per hour of writing) that is dependent on the reason for referral. For a more accurate quote of a neuropsychological assessment please contact us at info@stepforth.org

We can also be contacted for workshops, conferences, motivational speaking opportunities and other events. Please contact us for further details.
