Our session fees
All psychology sessions run for a full 50 minutes. Your first (initial) consultation attracts a one-off surcharge over and above the standard subsequent-session fee, as more time goes into setting up your file, assessment and treatment planning.
Your out-of-pocket “gap” is the difference between the fee and the rebate — $200.95 per subsequent session with Ashley, or $168.45 with Kaitlin, for eligible clients with a current plan.
Provided by Ashley · not claimable through Medicare · fees shown are per 50-minute session.
If a session runs over time at your request, additional time is charged pro-rata at the full consultation rate.
Medicare rebates
With a valid referral and mental health treatment plan from your GP or psychiatrist, Medicare rebates part of the cost of each psychology session back to you. The rebate depends on your psychologist’s registration:
Rebate amounts apply from 1 July 2026. Medicare indexes these rates each 1 July. The difference between our fee and the rebate is your out-of-pocket “gap.”
Up to 10 Medicare-rebated psychology sessions per calendar year (January–December).
Up to 40 Medicare-rebated psychology sessions, plus up to 20 dietitian sessions, within a 12-month referral period.
You don’t need a referral to start seeing us — but you do need a current plan in place if you’d like to claim a Medicare rebate. If you’re not sure whether you’re eligible, book in with your GP to discuss it.

If your level of cover includes psychology, you may be able to claim part of the fee back through your fund. You can’t use both Medicare and private health for the same session — check your cover directly.
Where your psychology sessions are approved and funded by WorkCover Queensland, we liaise directly with your case manager and provide the progress reports they require as a condition of funding.
Sessions funded by a CTP, life or income-protection insurer (or a professional sporting body) are arranged directly with the funder; written approval is confirmed before your first appointment.
We welcome self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants. Our standard consultation fees (listed above) apply and must be paid in full before your appointment. We’ll then provide a receipt so you can claim reimbursement from your plan manager or the NDIA — the NDIS reimburses psychology sessions at $252.99, so where our fee is higher than this you’ll be out of pocket the difference. We are not a registered NDIS provider, so we’re unable to see NDIA-managed (agency-managed) participants.
You’re very welcome to see us privately with no referral or funding at all — simply pay the consultation fee.
Vitality Unleashed Psychology does not accept Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) referrals for new clients.
