BOOKING INFORMATION
NEW CLIENTS
We are currently accepting new clients and referrals at this time, to book an initial appointment please contact us directly.
Our services are available for infants, children and teens as well as families/couples and of course we are also available to see individual adults who are seeking support unrelated to family
concerns. Our psychologists are experienced with people from all walks of life and are suitable for clients with ASD, ADHD and developmental delay or disorders.
INITIAL APPOINTMENT
The cost of an initial appointment for child, teens and adults is $235 (rebates can apply with MHCP).
We accept Mental Health Care Plans, ECPs and Self-Managed NDIS clients however no referral is required to make a booking with us.
Under 14 years of age: Please bring documentation from previous relevant professionals. For children this includes teacher reports and developmental records or reports from other medical and allied
health professionals. Parents will often attend the initial appointment without their child and this is recommended particularly for young
children. Where appropriate and possible, both parents/caregivers should attend.
During the initial session the psychologist often meets with the child and parents separately, though only if the child is comfortable with this.
STANDARD APPOINTMENT
Appointments with our psychologists are for 50 minutes and charged at $220 (MHCP rebate is $96.65)
Please note that for a general appointment, psychologists will often meet with the child and parents separately during the appointment time (though only if the child is comfortable with
this). If you are a parent and wanting to book in a separate, parent-only, session to discuss your child's care this is most welcome.
COGNITIVE ASSESSMENTS:
These can be undertaken for children and teenagers. It involves an initial 60 minute interview, subsequent approximately 90-120 minute assessment and a 60 minute feedback session with a report.
The total cost for this including, collating, scoring, interpreting and report writing ranges from $1000-$1200.00 depending on the duration of the assessment and complexity. The assessment used
is the I-Pad version of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-5). Please call to enquire.
