Fees & Rebates
Consultation Fees
Individual Therapy Session (50 minute session): $240.00
*Note these fees are below the Australian Psychological Society recommend fee of $318 for a 45 to 60 minute psychology session
Medicare & Private Health Rebates
Clients who have a current Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral from their GP are eligible for a Medicare rebate of $98.95 for appointments lasting 50 minutes or more (for up to 10 sessions per calendar year).
If you intend to claim through Private Health Insurance, please contact your insurer directly to confirm your level of cover and any rebates available under your policy.
Additional Professional Services
At times, clients may request services that fall outside of their scheduled therapy sessions. These services require additional clinical or administrative time and are therefore charged separately from consultation fees. Examples may include preparation of letters or supporting documentation, completion of forms and applications, written reports.
All additional services are provided at Bridget's professional discretion and are charged at her standard hourly rate on a pro-rata basis according to the time required. You will be advised of the estimated fee prior to any work being completed. Payment is due upon completion of the document.
Please note these services are available to current clients only. Appointments cannot be booked solely for the purpose of obtaining letters, reports, forms, or medico-legal documentation.
Payment & Billing
Payment is due on the day of the session.
There are no cash or EFTPOS facilities at Bowe and Arrow Psychology. We accept online payment only, via secure online payment system. A valid debit or credit card is required prior to your first appointment. By providing your card details, you authorise the practice to process fees in accordance with the practice's payment and cancellation policies.
Cancellation & Attendance Policy
To ensure appointments remain available for all clients and to minimise lost clinical time, we ask that you provide adequate notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. When an appointment is reserved, that time is set aside specifically for you, and preparation is often undertaken in advance of your session.
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please provide at least 24 hours' notice.
Applicable Fees
Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice: $120.00 (50% of the session fee)
Appointments missed without notice (non-attendance): $240.00 (100% of the session fee)
These fees will be charged to the debit or credit card provided at the time of booking.
Please note that Medicare, Private Health Insurance, and other third-party funding bodies do not cover cancellation or non-attendance fees. These fees remain the responsibility of the client, even where treatment is otherwise funded by a third party.
Late Arrivals
If you arrive late for your appointment, your session may be shortened to ensure other scheduled appointments are not affected. The full session fee will still apply, although any applicable rebate may be reduced due to the shortened consultation time.
Appointment Reminders
As a courtesy, appointment reminders may be sent via SMS or email prior to your appointment. While we endeavour to provide these reminders, they are not guaranteed and should not be relied upon as the sole method of remembering your appointment. If a reminder is not received and an appointment is missed, the applicable cancellation or non-attendance fee will still apply.
If you are ever unsure of your appointment time, please contact us via email and we will be happy to confirm it for you.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. This policy helps us maintain availability for all clients and continue providing a high standard of care.
