Times are shown in each state's local time and adjust automatically for daylight saving. Medicare, private and self-funded sessions starting before 5pm your time are $280; from 5pm, and on Saturdays, they're $300. Approved WorkCover, Comcare, TAC, DVA and NDIS sessions cost you nothing, no matter what time of day your session is.
Mental Health Treatment Plan
Previously called a Mental Health Care Plan. Your GP prepares the plan and referral, and you can usually claim a Medicare rebate for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.
Eating Disorder Plan
An Eating Disorder Treatment and Management Plan from your GP or psychiatrist gives Medicare rebates for up to 40 psychology sessions in 12 months, if you meet the eligibility criteria. More about eating disorder treatment.
Private health & self-funded
No referral is needed. If you have extras cover, check what your fund pays for a Clinical Psychologist. You can't claim Medicare and private health for the same session.
No cost to you once approved
For these schemes, sessions are billed directly to the insurer or scheme. There's no gap and no after-hours loading.

Common questions
The standard fee applies to weekday sessions that start before 5pm in your own time zone. Sessions starting at 5pm or later, and Saturday sessions, are charged at the after-hours fee. Because sessions run in the evening Sydney time, weekday sessions are often in the afternoon for clients in WA, and sometimes in NT and QLD.
With a Mental Health Treatment Plan you can usually claim up to 10 sessions per calendar year. An Eating Disorder Plan allows up to 40 rebated psychology sessions in 12 months. Your GP can confirm what applies to you.
Not for the same session. You can claim either a Medicare rebate or a private health rebate for each session.
No. Approved sessions are billed directly to your insurer or scheme, with no extra charge for evening or Saturday sessions.
No. Video and phone sessions cost the same, and Medicare rebates apply to both.
