Fees and Rebates

Fees

The total cost of an assessment varies depending on the referral questions and the complexity of the case. Screening assessments usually take a total of four hours. Comprehensive assessments take approximately eight hours in total (including testing, interpretation and report writing). 

At present, Medicare does not cover the cost of a neuropsychological assessment. Our hourly fee ($250.00) is in line with the recommended rates set by the Australian Psychological Society for specialist psychological services. For privately paying clients, however, a reduced hourly rate of $190.00 is charged in an effort to make the service more accessible.
​
We will discuss fees with each client prior to booking the assessment, and provide an accurate estimate of the total cost at the time of referral. 
​

Rebates

​Private Health Funds, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and other bodies may provide some level of reimbursement for psychological services. 
​
We encourage you to contact your insurance provider to find out whether your fund covers neuropsychological services.
 
NDIS
If you/your client is registered with NDIS, a neuropsychological assessment can be covered by your NDIS funding. If you are self-managed or plan-managed, you can refer directly to me. If you are managed by an agency, please talk to your provider about sub-contracting my service.

Cancellation Policy
We require at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel or change the appointment. A 50% cancelation fee will apply for cancellations made within 48 hours before the scheduled appointment or if you do not turn up to the appointment.
