Referrals:

Private Sessions: No referral is needed to see a psychologist privately (see Private Health Rebates)

Medicare Rebates: If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan and are receiving rebates, you may be eligible for a rebate of $$96.65. Under the Medicare Benefits Schedule (Better Access), Medicare rebates are available to clients with an assessed mental disorder. Medicare rebates are accessed with a Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral from a medical practitioner, psychiatrist, or paediatrician. The rebate is limited to 10 sessions per calendar year and only available with a valid referral. Please note the maximum number of sessions per referral is 6 and rebates will not be given beyond the number stated on the referral. After your 6th session you will be referred to your medical practitioner for a review of your MHTP. Please note that Medicare does not cover costs of psychological assessments.

NDIS:  You can use your National Disability Insurance (NDIS) to access Unique Psychologist services; however, check in your NDIS funding if your plan is self-managed or plan managed (It is written in your NDIS funding plan). Unique Psychology is not a registered NDIS provider.

Cancellation Fees 

When appointments are booked, the Psychologist reserves the whole hour, especially for the client, therefore the following cancellation policy is in place.  ​  We require 24-48 hours’ notice to reschedule or cancel a session without incurring any extra fees. This policy is in place to allow us to offer the allocated time to another client who may be on a cancellation or waiting list for an appointment. 

Current Cancelation Fee: Full Fee
