Our Fees
Lawrence & Co Psychology is committed to making quality mental health care accessible. As a private psychology clinic, you can book sessions with or without a referral from your GP.
We offer Medicare rebates for psychology services, private health rebates and flexible payment options to make professional psychological support more accessible. All services are available in-person or via telehealth.
Psychology Services
The Australian Psychological Society (APS) suggests a standard fee of $311 for a 60 minute appointment. Our fees reflect the level of service we provide.
Psychology appointments are Medicare rebatable with a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP (up to 10 per year).

Medicare Rebates
Our psychologists are all AHPRA-registered Medicare providers. This means that we can process rebates for you, provided you have a relevant care plan from your GP as listed above.
Notes:
-
Medicare rebates and private health insurance cannot be claimed in the same session.
-
Medicare does not cover cancellation fees.
Private Health Cover
If you have private health cover with extras, you may be eligible for rebates on our services.
Coverage varies significantly by fund - please check with your insurer for availability and rebate amounts. Medicare rebates and private health insurance cannot be claimed in the same session.
Third Party Coverage (NDIS, DVA, WorkCover)
While we cannot process claims directly through programs like WorkCover, NDIS, or DVA, we can provide detailed invoices and receipts if you've received prior approval for treatment.
Standard fees apply for all third-party referrals, and payment is required on the day of service.
Payment Policy
Invoices are issued the day following your appointment by email. Payment can be made online by card or by bank transfer using the details on your invoice.
Outstanding invoices must be paid before your next appointment if payment has not been received, we may need to reschedule until your account is cleared.
If you are on a Mental Health Care Plan, your Medicare rebate will be processed and transferred to your nominated bank account within 1–2 business days of payment being received.
Cancellation Policy
Life happens, and we understand that sometimes you need to reschedule. To ensure fair access for all patients:
-
48 hours' notice required for cancellations or rescheduling
-
Late cancellations (less than 48 hours) incur the full session fee
-
No-shows are charged the full session fee
Cancellation fees cannot be claimed by Medicare or private health insurance. Outstanding cancellation fees must be paid before your next appointment.
Options for Flexibility
Feeling unwell? Switch to a telehealth session instead of cancelling.
Telehealth technical issues? We'll reschedule without penalty if technology fails on our end.
