It’s good to be curious. Here are some of my most frequently asked questions...
-
Individual sessions are $240 for 50 minutes. Please note that a payment processing fee applies to card payments. Payment is required on the day of the consultation and can be made via direct deposit or credit card.
Please contact MyStory Psychology to discuss fees for supervision.
-
Under the Australian Government’s Better Access to Mental Health Care Initiative, individuals are eligible to receive a Medicare rebate for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. The current Medicare rebate for Clinical Psychologists is $145.25 per session. To access the Medicare rebates for your sessions, you will need a referral from your doctor / GP.
Rebates may also be available through private health insurers. Please contact your private health insurance to see if you are eligible.
Unfortunately, I am unable to offer services under WorkCover, DVA or TAC.

I ask that you provide as much notice as possible when cancelling an appointment. Cancellations within 24 hours of your appointment time will incur the full fee.
I understand that sometimes you may be unable to keep an appointment because of sudden illness or an unexpected personal emergency. If this happens to you, please contact me as soon as possible to explain the situation.
The cancellation policy is in place to allow me to offer the allocated time to another person who is on the waiting list. Please note, there are no Medicare or private health fund rebates for late cancellations or missed appointments.
