How much does a psychologist cost in Perth?
Across 10 psychologists in and around Perth on Help Link, the median session fee is $238, ranging from $175 to $330. With a Medicare rebate the real out-of-pocket cost is a good deal lower. Here are the actual current numbers, not survey estimates.
What you actually pay after the Medicare rebate
With a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, Medicare rebates $101.55 per session with a registered psychologist and $149.05 with a clinical psychologist, for up to 10 sessions a year. Against Perth's median fee of $238, that leaves about $136 out of pocket after the registered rebate, or about $89 after the clinical rebate. The larger clinical rebate makes the gap smaller, which surprises most people.
We don't split the median into clinical and registered for Perth yet, because there aren't enough of each type listed here to make a separate median meaningful. For the full breakdown of the two types and what each really costs, see our guide to clinical vs registered psychologists.
