Session Fee

This fee is effective from 01/07/2026.

Medicare Rebates

Clients may be eligible to access Medicare rebates through the Australian Government's Better Access Initiative with a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) and referral from their General Practitioner (GP), psychiatrist, or paediatrician.

Eligible clients can currently access up to 10 rebated psychology sessions per calendar year.

The current Medicare rebate for a session with a generally registered psychologist is $101.55 per session, leaving an out-of-pocket cost of $138.45 per appointment.

An initial referral is generally provided for up to six sessions. If additional sessions are clinically indicated, a review with the referring doctor is required before accessing the remaining sessions.

A referral is not required to access psychology services privately.

Private Health Insurance

Clients with extras cover may be eligible to claim a rebate through their private health insurer. Rebate amounts vary depending on the insurer and level of cover, and clients are encouraged to contact their health fund directly to determine their eligibility.

Please note that Medicare and private health rebates cannot be claimed for the same appointment.

NDIS

Lauren welcomes self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants, where psychological services align with the participant's goals and support needs.

Please get in touch to discuss individual circumstances and whether services may be a suitable fit.

Telehealth

All appointments are currently offered via secure telehealth.

Telehealth provides a flexible and accessible way to engage in therapy and may be particularly beneficial for individuals with busy schedules, chronic health conditions, mobility difficulties, caring responsibilities, or those living in regional and remote areas.

Research has consistently demonstrated that telehealth is an effective way of delivering psychological therapy for a wide range of concerns.
