Appointments 

A session runs for approximately one hour. There may be times when a longer session time is required. 

You do not need a referral to see a Psychologist, unless you wish to claim your sessions through Medicare.

The session fee is $250 per hour. Session fees will be charged with your consent to your credit card held on file.

Appointments can be made by:

1) Email fharvey@spccentre.com.au. You will be contacted within 24 hours to schedule an appointment.

2) Phone 0412 400 036 and leave a voice message or send a text.

Medicare

You will need to make an appointment with your GP, psychiatrist, or paediatrician, as they will need to assess whether you can benefit from counselling with a psychologist. If they agree that it would be beneficial, they will provide you with a Mental Health Care Plan so that you can access counselling with a Psychologist under the Better Access Mental Health Care Initiative (MBS)

Medicare provide a rebate for up to 10 sessions per calendar year and have now approved a further 10 additional sessions, eligible to those existing under the MBS. For these 10 additional sessions you will not require a new Mental Health Treatment Plan but you will need a review with your referring practitioner (GP, psychiatrist, or paediatrician) at the completion of your initial 10 sessions, and be provided with a review to access sessions 11-20.

Solution Psychology Centre can process your claims through Medicare.

Psychology fees are also claimable through Private Health Funds. These rebates vary depending on the Health Fund and the individual level of cover. Please check with your provider for this information.

Cancellation or Missed Appointments

Full session fee will be charged if appointments are cancelled with less than 24 hours notice.

It is recommended that missed appointments be rescheduled rather than allowing non-scheduled gaps that can interfere with the therapeutic process.
