FEES

At Sharp Minds Psychology, we pride ourselves on being an accessible, inclusive mental health service for all, regardless of people’s race, ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic status, gender, or occupation.

We value and respect our client’s time and in that we believe our fees reflect such respect. Unlike other Practice’s our prices are below the standard rate for therapy. Our fees are lower than the APS recommended fees for a 50-minute session with a psychologist (currently $300, $210.35 with a MHTP).

Fees are determined based on a sliding scale. A sliding scale is a pricing model that adjusts the cost of a product or service based on the customer’s ability to pay.


There is a current medicare rebate of $92.90 per session, available with a valid GP referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan, for up to 10 sessions in total per calendar year for therapy with a Psychologist (this includes sessions with another psychologist you may have attended during the year).
