Appointments, Fees & Rebates
At Brain Waves Psychology Sunshine Coast, standard psychology sessions last for one hour—50 minutes with a psychologist and 10 minutes reserved for administrative tasks like case notes.

The standard fee for a 50-minute session is $195. With a GP referral, the Medicare rebate is $96.65, leaving an out-of-pocket cost of $98.35. If you're unemployed or facing financial hardship, please discuss possible fee reductions with Kim

Longer sessions are available and billed pro-rata at $195 per hour. For example, a 90-minute session (75 minutes face-to-face) would cost $292.50. Keep in mind that Medicare only rebates one session per day, regardless of its length.

For NDIS participants, the fee is $222.99 per session, subject to periodic national reviews.

Private health insurance rebates may also be available, depending on your level of cover. Please contact your provider to confirm.

The Australian Association of Psychologists recommends a fee of $311 per session. However, Brain Waves Psychology Sunshine Coast is committed to maintaining accessibility and keeping fees more affordable. Our fee of $195 is well below the national recommendation.

For clients who’ve reached the Medicare Safety Net, 80% of the gap will be covered by Medicare, leaving an out-of-pocket cost of under $40 for most clients.

Cancellation Policy
Due to high demand, we have a Cancellation Policy. If you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, you may be charged:

• Organisation-funded (e.g., WorkCover, EAP): Full fee

• Private/MHCP clients: $100, or the full fee if cancelled on the day of the appointment or in the case of a no-show.

NDIS clients are required to give 48 hours’ notice for cancellations, otherwise, the full fee applies.

If you miss an appointment without notifying us, the full fee will be charged. However, we understand that exceptions may apply in extenuating circumstances.

To book your first session with Kim, a $50 deposit is required. This deposit will be deducted from the total fee for your first session.
