Ivannia Mena - Director & Registered Psychologist

Fees and Rebates

I believe in making psychological support accessible for everyone in need.  The Australian Association of Psychologists recommends the fee for a standard 40 - 50 minute consultation to be $280.00.  In keeping with my belief, I have kept treatment costs well below the recommended standard.  The fee for a standard 50-minute consultation is $200.00, with most clients being entitled to a rebate through Medicare.  After hours consultations (after 6:00 pm) will incur an additional fee of $10.00.


As a private practice, Mindful Perspectives Psychology welcomes self-referring clients as well as those referred by their treating GPs or Psychiatrists.  We also accept DVA, WorkCover, EAP referrals and NDIS (self-managed or plan managed funding only).
 
Your rebate may vary according to the following:

  • If you are a Medicare Card holder and can present a current Mental Health Care Plan, you may be eligible to a rebate of $89.65.
  • If you have Private Health Cover, you may be eligible to part or a full rebate (please check your coverage with your Private Health Fund).
  • If you do not hold a Medicare Card, the standard consultation fee applies without the option of a rebate.
