Please Note: Fees must be paid on the day of your appointment. A Medicare rebate may be available if you hold a valid Mental Health Care Plan from your GP. Saturday and after-hours appointments (5pm onwards) incur an additional $10 fee.

Our Cancellation Policy

As a clinic we value the commitment of both our clients and our clinicians. Our clinicians invest a significant amount of time and effort preparing for each session to ensure that you receive the best possible care and support.

1

Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice before the scheduled appointment will incur a $50 cancellation fee.

Note: Cancellation fees cannot be rebated from Medicare or health insurance providers.
2

Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice or no-shows will be charged 100% of the session fee.

3

NDIS clients – cancellations made with less than 48hrs notice before the scheduled appointment will incur 100% of the session fee.

4

For Worksafe, TAC, VOCAT, and other third-party clients, you are responsible for paying for your cancellation fees, as third parties and insurers tend not to cover cancellation and no-show fees.

We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and we will consider exceptions on a case-by-case basis for emergencies and extenuating circumstances.

medicare faqs

A Medicare rebate for Psychology can be accessed under a MHCP, which is known as a Mental Health Care Plan.

  • First, you must meet the criteria, which generally means that your doctor has diagnosed you with a disorder.
  • Secondly, you need to have a referral from your GP, who recommends you go to a specific psychology clinic (hopefully us!)

At Inspire, we need you to pay the full fee upfront first, and then we can process the Medicare rebate and get it back to you. The rebate should be returned to your nominated bank account (with Medicare). Here are the steps:

  • You need to pay the full fee on a DEBIT card
  • We process the Medicare rebate online via our processing system after your appointment
  • You should receive the rebate in your nominated account within approximately 24-48 hours

A MHCP allows for a total of up to 10 rebated consults to any referred psychologist per calendar year (January to December).

You will first be given access to 6 sessions and then you will be required to attend a review with your GP in order to access the final 4 sessions.

Private Health Funds

Private health funds will often provide a rebate for counselling services. You will need to contact your health fund to ensure that psychology is covered. We are unable to process private health rebates on your behalf, and you will need to lodge these yourself.
