One of the most common questions people have when considering seeing a psychologist is, "How much will it cost?" It's an important query as understanding the financial commitment can help you plan effectively and alleviate potential stress. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the potential costs involved when seeing a psychologist, along with information about various payment options and financial support available.

How much does a psychologist cost in Australia?

Across the 376 psychologists in the Help Link network Australia-wide, session fees currently average $237 (median $245), ranging from $0 to $360 per session. These are practitioners' actual current rates, not survey estimates, and 27 of them offer bulk billing. With a Mental Health Treatment Plan, Medicare rebates $101.55 per session for a registered psychologist and $149.05 for a clinical psychologist, so typical out-of-pocket costs are the difference between the fee and the rebate.

The Australian Psychological Society's recommended fee for a standard 46-60 minute consultation is $311 (2025-26 schedule) - most practitioners charge well below it, as the live figures above show.

How much does it cost to see a psychologist? (Sydney Wide)

Average Cost of a Psychology Session

The cost of seeing a psychologist can vary widely based on several factors such as the psychologist's level of experience, the length and type of the session, and the location of their practice. While the Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommends a $311 fee (2025-26) for a standard psychology consultation (typically 45-60 minutes), the average cost to see a psychologist based on our data is $242. However, many psychologists charge less than this, depending on their level of training, with a range of $0 to $360 per session.

Varying Costs Depending on the Professional

The cost of seeing a psychologist varies depending on whether you are seeing a Clinical Psychologist, a General Psychologist (often just called a Psychologist), or a Mental Health Social Worker. For instance, Clinical Psychologists, who have undergone additional years of training and specialisation, often charge more than General Psychologists.

A session with a Clinical Psychologist in Sydney ranges from $200 to $360, with the average fee being $259.

This compares to the average cost of (General) Psychologists in Sydney of $228 for a standard 50 minute session with the cheapest practitioner coming in at $0 and the most expensive Psychologist at $320.

Average Total Costs for Different Treatment Lengths

Of course, the cost per session is only one part of the equation with the total cost of treatment depending on the number of sessions you have. For example, if you're seeing the average Clinical Psychologist in Sydney at $259 per session for a typical course of cognitive-behavioral therapy (about 10-20 sessions), you could expect to pay between $2,590 and $5,180 in total. For a General Psychologist charging $228 per session, the total cost would range from $2,280 to $4,560.

Note the above figures are before any rebates from Medicare, should you be eligible.

Medicare Rebates with a Mental Health Care Plan

If you have a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from a GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician, you can access a Medicare rebate for up to 10 psychology sessions per calendar year. The Medicare rebate for a standard consultation with a Clinical Psychologist is $149.05, which means that your out of pocket expense for an average session would be $109.95.

For a General Psychologist, the Medicare rebate is $101.55, which is lower than the rebate for a Clinical Psychologist. However, the average fee for a General Psychologist is also lower, meaning that the out of pocket expense for a General Psychologist is $126.45.

It's important to note that to access this rebate, you must have a valid MHCP and see a psychologist who is registered with Medicare.

Private Health Insurance

If you have private health insurance with extras cover, it may include cover for psychology services. The amount you can claim back depends on your level of cover and the terms of your insurance policy. It's important to contact your insurance provider to find out what your policy covers before starting therapy.

Remember that you cannot use both Medicare and private health insurance to cover the same service. You need to decide whether to use your MHCP (if you have one) and claim a Medicare rebate, or use your private health insurance. In general, if you have an MHCP you would use it, as the gap will be lower when using the MHCP vs using your private health insurance.

Low-Cost Options

For those who might find the cost of therapy prohibitive, there are several low-cost options available. Some psychologists offer a sliding scale fee structure, which means they adjust their fees based on the client's income.

Community health centres often provide mental health services, including psychology, at a reduced cost or even free of charge. Additionally, online therapy platforms can sometimes offer more affordable rates than traditional in-person therapy.

Some non-profit organizations and universities also offer free or low-cost therapy services, often provided by psychologists-in-training under the supervision of a licensed psychologist.

A number of psychologists in the Help Link network bulk bill, meaning Medicare covers the full session cost - see the live list of bulk billing psychologists with their availability.
