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 $251).

When booking our clients, we take care not to overbook our clinicians to ensure that they can be emotionally present as possible for their clients.

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.

For ongoing sessions with our Counsellors:

Annual Income	Cost of Service
For clients who earn $100,000+ per year	$180 per session
For clients who earn between $50,000 and $100,000 per year	$140 per session
For clients who earn for below $50,000 per year	$80 per session

We ensure that their caseloads are adequate which also allows for sufficient time to complete the following:
A 50-minute therapy session.
Time to complete comprehensive session plans.
Complete emails and calls to other services as needed.
Build resources for clients to use outside of sessions.

For ongoing sessions with our Psychologists

Annual Income	Cost of Service
For clients who earn $100,000+ per year	$225
For clients who earn between $50,000 and $100,000 per year	$180
For clients who earn for below $50,000 per year	$120

We do not charge for admin time, resource building, phone calls, and brief letters for our clinicians. We only bill for therapy sessions.
There is a current medicare rebate of $89.65 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).
