At Rising People Psychology, we aim to make our psychology services clear and transparent so you can understand the costs involved before booking an appointment. Our fees may vary depending on the type of psychological service, appointment format, and the circumstances of your care.
We offer online and face-to-face psychology appointments, with services available for individuals, families, and eligible NDIS participants. Our team can provide further information about fees, Medicare rebates, NDIS funding, and available appointment options when you contact us.
In addition, Medicare rebates may apply for eligible clients with a referral and Mental Health Care Plan.
Please note that the following fees do not include the $98.95 rebate.
| WEEKDAYS 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM | FEE |
|---|---|
| Face to face cost | $222.20 |
| Online psychological services | $222.20 |
| Students, Pensioners, Unemployed and Single Parents | Unfortunately, we are currently at capacity with low fee paying clients. |

You are entitled to a Medicare rebate of $98.95 in your face-to-face and online psychology sessions under the “Better access to mental health initiative” for up to 10 sessions per calendar year with a referral from your GP and a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP).
Fees are charged well below the APS-recommended rate of $300 per 50min consult. Gap payments, meaning the out-of-pocket expenses after Medicare rebates have been adjusted to remain as affordable as possible. Patients on a mental health care plan can claim a rebate, as outlined above, up to 10 sessions per calendar year. Private health fund rebates may also apply, and individuals are encouraged to speak with their healthcare providers.
Important note: A $80 deposit is required before booking the initial session. This will then be deducted from the fee of your first session.

NDIS Psychology Fees
Rising People Psychology provides psychology services for eligible self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. Access to our services will depend on your available funding and whether psychology supports are included in your NDIS plan.
If you’re considering using your NDIS funding for psychology services, our team is happy to help. Before booking an appointment, we can discuss your support needs, explain how our services work, and provide information about our fees and service agreements.
If you’re unsure whether your funding covers psychology services, please get in touch with us. We’ll be happy to answer your questions and help you understand your available options.
Private Health Insurance
If you have private health insurance, you may be able to claim benefits for your psychology appointments, depending on your level of cover.
As every health fund and policy is different, we recommend contacting your insurer before your appointment to check what you’re eligible to claim. They can also advise you about any waiting periods, benefit limits, or other conditions that may apply.
If you have any questions about using your private health insurance for psychology services, our team is happy to provide general information to help you prepare for your appointment.
