To claim Medicare rebates for psychology sessions, you will need a referral from your GP. This involves making an appointment with your GP to discuss your concerns and requesting a Mental Health Care Plan. Once this plan is completed, your GP can refer you for psychological support. Medicare rebates are available for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. As of 1 July 2025, the current rebate for a general psychologist is $98.95 per session. Typically, referrals are made in two parts: an initial referral for six sessions, followed by a review with your GP who may then provide a further referral for up to four additional sessions. Need help with this process? We are happy to guide you.

Summit Psychology is committed to providing high-quality psychological care at an accessible rate. Our standard 50-minute consultation fee is $250, which is below the Australian Psychological Society’s recommended fee of $311. Our fees are as follows: • Initial assessment session: $280 • $181.05 after Medicare rebate (if applicable) • Standard session: $250 • $151.05 after Medicare rebate (if applicable)

Our cancellation policy is designed to keep appointments fair and accessible for all clients. Once an appointment is booked, that time is reserved for you. If you are unable to attend, it is often not possible to offer the time to someone else at short notice. We require at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. If less than 48 hours’ notice is given, the following fees apply: • More than 48 hours’ notice: No fee • 24 to 48 hours’ notice: 50% of the session fee • Less than 24 hours’ notice or non-attendance: Full session fee Please note: Medicare and private health rebates cannot be used to cover cancellation fees.
