Fees and Rebates
Flexible and clear pricing designed to support your journey to well-being.
Our Pricing Approach
Our psychologists see clients via a number of different pathways.
Some of our clients pay privately, and may be eligible to claim a rebate via either Medicare – with a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) from a GP or psychiatrist – or via Private Health Insurance.
Others we see via scheme-based pathways including:
ADF members (via Bupa)
Fire Rescue NSW (FRNSW)
Veterans (with some of our team taking White Card, and others accepting Bupa Open Arms referrals)
NRL
And more…
We’ve detailed more below on the different pathways. If you’d like to find out more about your best pathway to access support, or more about which schemes each member of our team is providing services to, please drop us a line or give us a call!
Pricing & Appointment Policies
Private Clients
For Private Patients & MHTP Referrals
Our team is open to private referrals, or referrals from a GP or Psychiatrist under a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP). Fees vary in accordance with the experience, and expertise of our team members, so please contact us to discuss relevant costs. Rebates may be available for private clients. Clients with a MHTP may be eligible for the Medicare rebate. Alternatively, you may be eligible to claim via private health insurance (please check with your insurer, as rebates vary).
Scheme-Based Clients
ADF, FRNSW, Veterans, NRL, and more…
Actualise Psychology partners with a number of organisations to provide treatment under various schemes including ADF, FRNSW, Veterans, NSW Ambulance, and the NRL (League Ahead & RLPA). If you are referred under an approved scheme, your session fees will be covered by the scheme, and you will not need to make payment for the services. However, some schemes do not cover cancellations <24 hours or sessions that you fail to attend, where this occurs this may result in the cost being passed onto you as the client (please see cancellation policy for details).
Rebates
Rebates may be available for private paying clients via either Medicare or Private Health Insurance.
Medicare: Clients with a MHTP may be eligible for the Medicare rebate. As of June 2025, the Medicare rebate for psychology sessions in Australia is $141.85 / 50 min session for a clinical psychologist, and $96.65 / 50 min session for a registered (Generalist) Psychologist.
There are a few Medicare benefits schemes that may apply with respect to psychology, depending on your specific mental health needs/conditions. The most common of these is Medicare's Better Access initiative. Under this initiative you can claim up to 10 individual psychology sessions per calendar year with a valid referral (MHTP) from a GP or psychiatrist. Initially, a GP, psychiatrist, can refer you for up to 6 sessions, and if needed, they can approve additional sessions after a review.
Health Insurance: If you are not claiming a Medicare rebate, you may be eligible to claim a rebate via your private health insurance (please check with your insurer, as rebates vary).
Cancellation Policy
For Appointment Cancellations
Life happens, and we understand. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours' notice to avoid being charged the full session fee. This helps us support more clients and respect our psychologists' time.
