Fee Schedule

Fees are payable at the end of the session by direct debit or credit card (we require a card on file though you may choose not to use this). All fees must be paid prior to subsequent appointments (this is inclusive of third party payments). For NDIS plan managed clients, fees are payable by invoice within 5 business days. If this does not occur, the client is responsible for following up their plan manager for payment, and is ultimately responsible for the fee should the plan manager not pay for an agreed service. Group program fees may be made as one lump sum prior to the group beginning or via a weekly payment plan. Payment plans consist of an up front deposit to secure your place followed by payments each week of the program. All sessions must be paid for whether or not attended due to the nature of the group program. In exceptional circumstances fees may be waived; this will be at the discretion of the facilitating therapist. From the 1st of July 2024, all payments made through our online payment system, Halaxy, will be subject to a 1.5% processing fee. Spark for Life reviews and updates this fee schedule annually.

Spark for Life sends courtesy reminders a few days prior to appointments, however we still expect clients to remember their appointments and arrive on time. That said, we understand that from time to time an appointment need to be rescheduled or cancelled. Please email reception at admin@sparkforlifepsychology.com (admin@sparkforlifepsychology.com)or call the clinic on 02 6181 7968 to reschedule or cancel your appointment if you are unable to attend. We require at least 48 hours' notice in order to offer appointments to other clients on the waiting list. Missed appointments and late cancellations (less than 48 hours' notice) will be subject to a cancellation fee of a minimum of 50% of the usual scheduled fee. Cancellations with less than 24hours notice or non-attendance will be charged the full scheduled fee. This charge cannot be claimed through Medicare or your Private Health fund. Clients with NDIS funding will be charged a cancellation fee according to the current NDIS price guide.

Have your GP send us a copy directly or you may email it to us ahead of your appointment. ● You may not claim a rebate from both Medicare and your private health insurer for the same appointment. ● Provisional Psychologists are not eligible to be registered with Medicare and therefore no Medicare rebate applies, this is reflected in the discounted price offered for Provisionals.

NDIS self managed and plan managed clients are able to claim our services under NDIS. Please note that some of our services are above the NDIS rate. If you are plan managed you may need to discuss this with your plan manager. We are not able to see NDIA managed clients. For NDIS plan managed clients, fees are payable by invoice within 5 business days. If this does not occur, the client is responsible for following up their plan manager for payment, and is ultimately responsible for the fee should the plan manager not pay for an agreed service.

If referred under a MHTP by your GP for counselling with a registered Psychologist, a Medicare rebate is available. This rebate can be processed directly at the time of your appointment or privately after the appointment. If referred by a Paediatrician under Medicare for an Autism assessment, a Medicare rebate may apply; please ask whether this applies to you. Private health rebates may also be available; speak to your private health fund for details. * Please note: appointments with provisional psychologists are not eligible for Medicare rebates at this time
