Clinical session fees
The Australian Psychological Society recommended rate for Psychology in 2023– 2024 is $300 for a 50-minute psychology session. At MindSea Psychology, we provide accessible and affordably mental health care and charge less than the recommended APS rates.
Fees for a standard session range from $220 to $280 per session depending on your clinicians level of experience.
All therapeutic services are exempt from GST. Payments are made on the day of consultation by cash, EFTPOS or credit card.
If you are on concession, student, senior or experiencing financial hardship, please contact admin for further information.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy does not attract any subsidy by Australia’s Better Access Scheme and thus does not have a Medicare rebate. Please contact us for more information on fees.
Psychological Assessment and Reporting
The cost of psychometric assessment varies depending on the reason for assessment. At MindSea we provide Adult Autism and ADHD assessment and psychological report. Please contact us for more information on fees.

In order to provide equitable services to the community, we value our clinicians and clients time and therefore it is important that we are informed of non-attendance in sessions.
Last minute cancellations of less than 24 hours’ notice attract a full fee unless unexpected life events occur.
If you inform us within the 24 hours – 48 hours’ notice 50% of the full fee is charged.
A cancellation fee will not be charged if you provide more than 48 hours’ notice when cancelling or changing an appointment.
