Fees, Rebates, and Other Important Information

Duration

Our standard sessions are 50-55 minutes. This applies to both initial and recurring counselling sessions.

Next Step Wellness Program™ 

We are currently offering two different pricing plans within the Next Step Wellness program.

Both plans include full access to the same benefits, including sessions, courses and resources.

The $98 per week option is beneficial for those who do not have a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP). You can enjoy unlimited access to the program benefits, and it is still more affordable than the Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommended therapy session rate of $311 per session (see APS website here).

The $50 per week option provides a further discount for those eligible for a MHCP (see FAQs for further details on a MHCP). This plan includes full access to all program benefits for 20 weeks. After 20 weeks, you have the option to move to the $98 per week plan.

*The Mental Health Care Plan Rebate is set by the government and increases incrementally.

Reduced Rates

To ensure financial limitations are not a significant barrier to receiving mental health support, we offer reduced rates for the following:

  • Healthcare or Pension Card

  • School students

  • Members of the clergy

  • Access to Allied Psychological Services (ATAPS) program

  • Financial Hardship

Please contact us for more information.
