OUR FEES

ASSESSMENT & THERAPY SERVICES
Recommended fees for psychological services in Australia are set and reviewed regularly by the Australian Psychological Society. At Helen Fowler & Associates Psychology Group, our fee structure broadly reflects these recommended fees with some reductions to these rates offered where possible.
Different refund schemes and/or rebates are applicable depending on how you are referred to our service. Medicare, Private health funds, Workers Compensation, the Insurance Commission of WA, the Department of Veterans Affairs or a legal service provider may cover part or all of the cost of your fees at our practice.

REBATES
There are many different rebate schemes that may be available to you depending on your situation. These are outlined below for your information.
SELF REFERRAL
Private payment – rebates may be available through your Private Health Insurance.
You may opt to book an appointment without a Medicare based referral from your GP or medical specialist. In this case, Private Health Funds (depending on fund and coverage) may provide you with a rebate for Psychological services. Please check with your insurance provider to obtain information regarding your level of cover. For your convenience we offer an electronic HiCaps facility at time of payment for easy claiming.
REFERRAL VIA GP UNDER A MEDICARE FUNDED SCHEME
All clinicians are registered with Medicare Australia and can accept referrals from General Practitioners, Psychiatrists, Paediatricians and other medical specialists for a series of sessions funded through the Better Access to Mental Health Initiative. The majority of patients referred under Medicare do so through their GP. There will be a gap payment required between the amount Medicare rebates to you and the full session fee.
For your convenience we offer an electronic Medicare Easyclaim facility at time of payment for easy claiming. More information is available on the Better Access to Mental Health website.

HF&A Psychology Group provides independent evaluations for individuals injured at work or in a motor-vehicle accident. We also provide treatment for injuries that are complex and/or require specialised clinical intervention. If you have a workers compensation or motor accident insurance claim, please consult with your worker compensation case manager or the Insurance Commission of WA, as they may pay us directly for psychological services as part of your claim.
