Fees

The fee for a standard 50 minute psychology session is $255. Out of hours or Saturday sessions are $275. If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan and are referred by a doctor, you will be able to claim the Medicare rebate for Clinical Psychology which is $145.25 for up to 10 consultations per calendar year (January-December).

​

Your Medicare rebate can be processed online at the time of your appointment.

 

Please note that payment in full is due at the time of your appointment.

​

Most private health funds also provide rebates for psychological services. Please ask your fund about the rebate they provide for psychological consultations.

​

Referrals process

GPs and Psychiatrists: Please address referrals to Melanie Boskemper Psychology and either

Fax to 08 70937167 or send an email to melanie@melanieboskemperpsychology.com.au.

For Medicare referrals, both the referral letter and a copy of the Mental Health Treatment Plan are appreciated. Please also specify the number of sessions you have approved.

​

Cancellation and non-attendance policy

We know that the best therapeutic results are obtained when psychology sessions are held regularly. That's why our first preference is always that you keep your in-person appointment. When life gets in the way and you're unable to attend our rooms, we can conduct the session over the phone or video may be arranged.

 

If you need to cancel your appointment altogether, we ask that you give a minimum of 24 hours notice (one full business day) to avoid a cancellation fee. Please note there are no Medicare rebates for cancelled appointments.

Confidentiality and Privacy

All information is strictly confidential in accordance with APS guidelines.

​

Confidentiality ensures that all personal information gathered remains between client and therapist, unless it has been subpoenaed or authorised by law; the information places the client or another person at serious risk; or the client's prior approval has been obtained.
