Fees, Rebates & Assessment Information
Clear, practical support from the start.
At Unique Minds Psychology, we believe accessing support should feel clear and straightforward. Below is general information about psychology consultation fees, rebates, assessments, and payment processes for children, adolescents, adults, and families across Perth, including Winthrop and surrounding communities.
Our goal is to make the process feel transparent, respectful, and easy to navigate from the beginning.
Psychology Consultation Fees
Standard Psychology Consultation
50-minute consultation — $250
This may include:
Individual therapy
Child, adolescent, and adult support
Parent consultations
Review appointments
Feedback sessions (where appropriate)
Fees are payable on the day of service,
Assessment Fees and Pathways
Assessment pathways vary depending on age, presenting concerns, complexity, and the type of assessment required.
This may include:
ADHD assessments
Autism assessments
Cognitive assessments
Specific learning disorder assessments (including dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia)
Diagnostic clarification and differential assessment
We begin with an Initial Intake to better understand concerns, gather relevant background information, and determine the most appropriate assessment pathway.
Following this initial intake, we provide clear information about:
Recommended assessment type
What the process may involve
Estimated fees
Timeframes
Report and feedback inclusions
This helps ensure recommendations are tailored to the individual, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Medicare Rebates and Mental Health Care Plans
If eligible, psychology sessions may be accessed under a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP.
A valid referral is required to claim Medicare rebates for eligible psychology sessions.
Please note:
Medicare rebates are processed after payment
Eligibility and referral requirements apply
Rebates may vary depending on the clinician and appointment type
If your GP is preparing a Mental Health Care Plan, please ask them to address it to Rebecca Rowland or Chantelle Bubalo at Unique Minds Psychology.
Private Health Rebates
Private health rebates may be available depending on your level of cover and provider.
We recommend checking directly with your health fund for eligibility, rebate amounts, and psychology cover.
NDIS and Private Funding
Unique Minds Psychology does not directly provide plan-managed NDIS billing.
NDIS participants are welcome to access services privately and may be able to submit invoices to their plan manager for reimbursement, depending on their individual funding arrangements.
If you are unsure whether this pathway may suit your circumstances, please feel free to contact us.
Payments
To keep our systems streamlined, secure, and accessible:
Payment is required on the day of service
A valid credit or Visa debit card is required when booking online through Halaxy
Card details are stored securely through Halaxy
Payments are manually processed by your clinician on the day of your appointment
The clinic can only view the last four digits of stored cards
This helps us reduce administrative delays and maintain a smooth booking process.
Cancellation Policy
We require at least 48 business hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling.
Late cancellations or missed appointments may incur the full consultation fee.
Please note:
Appointment reminders are sent as a courtesy only
Non-receipt of reminders does not waive cancellation fees
Where clinically appropriate, telehealth may sometimes be offered as an alternative to an in-person appointment
Additional Clinical Services
Clinical work completed outside scheduled therapy or assessment sessions may attract fees at the standard hourly rate, charged on a pro rata basis where applicable.
This may include:
Reports and written documentation
Letters and supporting paperwork
School liaison and educational recommendations
Teacher collaboration and support planning
Parent or caregiver phone consultations
Third-party communication (e.g. GPs, allied health, schools)
Form completion or additional documentation
We will always aim to communicate this clearly where relevant.
