Fees and funding

What are your session fees?

Base rate for sessions: $155/hour

For NDIS plan programs: $190/session (75 mins: inclusive of 60 min session + ~15 mins of billable non-face-to-face time*)

Where applicable, provider travel fees are calculated as travel time (by part hour) x 50% of hourly rate, to a maximum of $80.

*Non-face-to-face (NF2F) service as billable time is industry standard for allied health private practitioners with equivalent level of training, including OTs and speech therapists alongside creative arts therapists. While the need for NF2F service is determined on a case by case basis, this type of service is required for almost all NDIS-funded sessions where functional developments is the focus. It includes tasks such as session-specific planning and preparation, clinical note taking, space setting, and equipment sourcing/maintenance.

Can I use NDIS funding?

Yes! It is possible to use NDIS funding for our services, in the category of Capacity building - Improved Daily Living (Therapy and Assessment) - Item Number: 15_610_0128_1_3 (Art Therapist). This information is accurate in 2026.

Can I get money back through Medicare if I have a MHCP from my doctor?

Medicare rebates do not currently exist for art therapy.

General information about this: My base rate is similar to the out-of-pocket amount payable (after the Medicare refund) for a typical clinical psychology session. If you are on the waitlist for a suitable psychologist, I may be able to support you in the interim. While I do not have the same diagnostic powers and treatment approaches as a clinical psych, I am an allied healthcare clinician with a focus on mental health, trauma and neurodivergence.

What is your cancellation policy?

There is no fee if a session is cancelled with 48 hours notice. Full session fee is charged if cancellation is within 24 hours of the appointment, or 50% of the fee if cancelled with 24-48 hours notice. Travel fees are not charged unless travel took place before the session was cancelled.
