Fees

Psychologist Fees

Libby charges $250 for 50-minute appointments. EMDR appointments are 70 to 80-minutes long and cost $350. Please note that these fees are considerably less than the APS recommended fees for 2023/24 of $300 for 50-minute appointments and $434 for 80-minute appointments. Payment is required at the time of your appointment. Payment can be made via bank transfer or credit card.

Cancellation

Due to the high demand for appointments, cancellations made with less than 48 hours notice will incur a cancellation fee of 90% of the appointment fee. Medicare rebates do not apply to cancellation fees. To avoid cancellation fees please allow 48 hours notice when rescheduling or cancelling sessions. You will receive a reminder text message two days prior to your appointment to assist you with this.

Medicare Rebates for Psychology Services

Rebates for psychological services are available under Medicare. Under the Better Access to Mental Health Care scheme rebates are available for up to 10 sessions per year. To access the scheme a referral from your treating general practitioner or psychiatrist is required. The referral must be in place prior to the first claimable session. As at 1 July 2023 the applicable Medicare rebate is $136.35 per appointment. For those who have reached the Medicare safety net a higher rebate is payable.

Private Health Insurance

If you belong to a private health fund you may be able to claim a rebate for psychological services. This information can be obtained from your fund directly.
