Fees & Rebates
At Daybreak Wellbeing, we aim to make psychological support accessible while being transparent about fees and payment arrangements. Please take a moment to review the information below before your appointment.
Psychological Therapy
50-minute session $190
Appointments are available in person or via telehealth. Sessions provide a supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings, work through challenges, and develop strategies to support your wellbeing.
Payment & Fees
Private appointments
Payment is required on the day of your appointment. We do not offer bulk billing. Clients attending privately, including those eligible for a Medicare rebate, are required to pay the full session fee upfront.
Payments are processed via credit or debit card through our secure online payment platform.
Our Commitment to Accessible Care
At Daybreak Wellbeing, we believe everyone deserves access to compassionate psychological support. As part of our commitment to making psychological care more accessible to our community. We have intentionally set our private session fees below the Australian Psychological Society’s recommended consultation fee of $330 for a standard 46 to 60-minute consultation.
Third-party funded appointments
Fees and payment arrangements for clients accessing services through the NDIS, workers compensation, Victims Support NSW or other approved funding arrangements depend on the relevant funding pathway and approval requirements.
Where direct billing has been approved, payment is arranged with the relevant funding body or funding manager, and you will not be required to pay the approved session fee upfront. If direct billing is not available or a service is not covered by your funding arrangement, you may be responsible for the cost.
Please contact the practice a minimum of 7 days before your first appointment to confirm your funding arrangements, applicable fees and any potential out-of-pocket costs.
Letters and other documents
Letters & Other Documents
Psychological letters and documents may be requested to support ongoing care, transfer of care, referrals or engagement with other services.
Where appropriate, a brief letter (under one page) summarising your treatment and recommendations to your referring practitioner may be prepared within your scheduled session time.
Fees for letters and documents prepared outside of our standard session time vary depending on the nature and complexity of the request. Please contact the practice to discuss your needs and the associated costs. We ask for a minimum of two weeks for preparation of psychological reports and letters.
These fees apply to requests that are not covered by an applicable funding arrangement. Some funding bodies do not cover certain letters or additional documentation, and you may be responsible for the cost of requests that fall outside your approved funding. We recommend confirming coverage with your funding body before requesting additional documentation.
Assessment & Court Reports
If you require a formal psychological assessment or a report for court or legal proceedings, please discuss this with us prior to your initial appointment. These reports may require specialised assessment and expertise, and we can help direct you to a suitably qualified clinician. We do not conduct medico-legal assessments or prepare reports for legal purposes.
Cancellations and
late changes
We understand that unexpected circumstances can arise. We ask for at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This allows us to offer the appointment time to another person seeking support.
Cancellation fees apply to changes made with 24 hours' notice or less, as follows:
More than 24 hours' notice: No cancellation fee.
Less than 24 hours' notice: 50% of the applicable session fee.
Same-day cancellations, same-day appointment changes or non-attendance without notice: 100% of the applicable session fee.
Cancellation and non-attendance fees are payable by the client and are not eligible for Medicare rebates.
If you are unable to attend in person, please contact the practice as soon as possible to discuss whether a telehealth appointment may be suitable.
We appreciate your understanding and consideration. Providing notice when you are unable to attend helps maintain continuity of your care, gives another person the opportunity to access support, and allows us to manage the time set aside to prepare for your session. We appreciate your understanding and consideration.
Professional Supervision
60-minute session | $190
Supervision provides a supportive space to reflect on your practice, explore therapeutic approaches and strengthen your confidence as a practitioner.
Sessions may focus on clinical reflection, therapeutic approaches, navigating professional challenges and developing your skills.
Medicare Rebates
Eligible clients may be able to claim a Medicare rebate for psychological sessions under the Better Access initiative.
To access a rebate, you will need a valid referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, or an appropriate referral from an eligible psychiatrist or paediatrician, before your appointment.
We do not offer bulk billing. You are required to pay the full private session fee on the day of your appointment, and any applicable Medicare rebate is separate from this payment.
Your out-of-pocket cost is the difference between the session fee and the Medicare rebate you receive.
Medicare limits the number of rebated individual psychological treatment sessions available each calendar year. If you have accessed Medicare-rebated sessions with another practitioner, please let us know when booking so we can help clarify your remaining eligibility.
Any sessions not covered by your referral or Medicare eligibility will be payable privately at the applicable session fee.
Medicare rebates are not available for missed appointments or cancellation fees.
