Frequently Asked Questions
.
01
Do I need a referral?
No. You do not need a referral to attend appointments. However, if you would like to access Medicare Rebates for our brief intervention packages, you will need to have a referral from your GP which needs to include a Mental Health Care Plan. For Autism assessments, you will need a referral from a paediatrician for a "Complex Neurodevelopmental Assessment". Bring a copy of this referral along to your first appointment, and we will be able to process your Medicare rebate after each session.
02
How much do sessions cost?
For our brief intervention sessions:
The initial session you attend will cost $265/50minutes; each subsequent appointment will cost $240/50 minutes. Medicare rebates are available for those that are eligible.
For Assessments:
Prices vary depending on the type of assessment required, see fees here

How long does the assessment take?
Most of our assessments are completed in 3-4 sessions, over a 3-5 week period. Where you are including multiple different types of assessment, this can take an extra 1-2 weeks.

Who attends sessions?

What does an assessment include?
Our assessments include parent and teacher interviews, as well as time we spend with your child talking to them, and completing different activities. All sessions include a parent feedback session, where we discuss your results, and a comprehensive report with all results, diagnoses, and recommendations tailored for you and your child for both home and school.
