$220 per 50-minute session.

The current APS & AAPi National Schedule of Recommended Fees 2024-2025 has the standard 46 to 60-minute consultation fee at $311. At Sakinah Psychology, we strive to keep access to mental health care accessible to the community, as such our current fee is $200 for a 50-minute consultation.

Sarah is able to provide psychological services under the Better Access Initiative with Medicare. You may be able to access rebates for your sessions using a valid Mental Health Care Plan and referral from your GP. Clients can access up to 10 rebated sessions under their MHCP, in a calendar year. Medicare rebates with a General Psychologist are currently $96.65 per session. This leaves a gap cost of $103.35 per session.

Please note that a Mental Health Care Plan is not required to book an appointment with Sarah. If you are not eligible or do not wish to obtain a MHCP, you can attend appointments with Sarah paying the full fee $200 per session.

If you wish to use your Mental Health Care Plan for rebated sessions, please send this to admin@sakinahpsychology.com.au
