No. You are not required to get a referral from your GP to see a psychologist.
If, however, you would like to access a Medicare rebate for your visit with a psychologist, you will then need to see your GP to get a mental health care (treatment) plan.
We support ACA, AFLPA, DCP and many other 3rd party payers.
Please contact us if you would like to enquire as to whether or not we can accept payment from your support organisation.
If you do not require a rebate of any kind, you are always welcome to simply pay the standard fee.
Individual sessions are 50 minutes, and couples’ sessions are 80 minutes.
SAP&W does not bulk bill. If you are in need of lower cost support, we encourage you to visit our alternate support options page.
Fee Schedule:
*Fees listed do not apply to Dr Julee La Mott, Clinical Director.*
Medicare rebates apply if you have a Mental Health Care Plan. Clients are required to pay the full fee at time of appointment.
Clients using a mental health care plan are eligible to have their gap fees contribute to their Medicare safety net. Once a client meets their safety net threshold, their Medicare rebates will reimburse up to 90% of the total session fee. We recommend you learn more to ensure you are receiving your full Medicare rebates.

Late Cancel/ No Show Policy
We understand that life happens and sometimes you may need to cancel your scheduled appointment. Cancellations must occur by 9AM the BUSINESS DAY prior. Cancellations made after this time will incur a $125 late cancel fee. If you are unwell, let us know and we will change your session to a telehealth appointment. No shows and same day cancellations will incur the full session fee.
Late cancellation fees, while unfortunate, help both psychologists and clients. They ensure that the therapy process runs smoothly and effectively for both parties, serve as an incentive to commit to scheduled therapy sessions, respect the psychologist’s time, and encourage an active role in treatment.
For psychologists, these fees serve as a deterrent against last-minute cancellations or no-shows, which can result in lost revenue and wasted time. By implementing these fees, psychologists can better manage their schedules and reduce the likelihood of gaps in their appointment books. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to overbook, thus allowing the clinician to provide the highest levels of support at all times.
Fee Schedule:
All assessments include intake, assessment, analysis, report and feedback.
Medicare rebates for Autism Assessments are available to persons under 25, and must be referred by a psychiatrist or paediatrician.
