Fees
What a session costs, and what can bring it down.
Every rate below is a starting price for a one hour session. What you actually pay depends on who you see, which state they practise in, and whether a Medicare rebate or a reduced rate applies to you. It is all on this page, not at checkout.

BEST IF
You need an assessment, a report or a diagnosis, or your GP has referred you.

Concession
Individual, 1 hour
from $145
Reduced rate
Couples, 1 hour
from $185
Reduced rate
Online or in person in Western Australia. Concession sessions run at our Landsdale rooms or by telehealth.
A reduced rate offered by some of our practitioners. In Victoria these sessions run online only. The same care, at a fee set so that cost isn't the reason you go without.
BEST IF
Full fees are out of reach right now. Call to discuss your circumstances.
MEDICARE REBATE
Not available.

Bringing the cost down
Medicare rebate
Ask your GP for a Mental Health Care Plan. It covers up to 10 rebated sessions a year with a psychologist. You pay the full fee on the day and Medicare refunds the rebate to you, usually within a couple of days. How a care plan works.
Private health extras
Many extras policies contribute towards counselling. What you get back depends on your fund and your level of cover, so check with them before you book. We give you a receipt with everything your fund needs on it.
Concession sessions
Some of our practitioners hold a reduced rate for people the full fee would put out of reach. In Victoria those sessions are online; in Western Australia they can be online or in person. Call to discuss your circumstances.
Good to know
Sessions run a full hour
Every rate on this page buys a one hour appointment. If you want longer, ask — extra time is charged pro rata at the same rate.
Payment on the day
Fees are settled at the end of the session. Processing fees apply to card payments, and your receipt is emailed to you straight away.
Rates start where they start
Every figure is a "from" rate. Individual practitioners set their own fee above it depending on their training and experience — the booking page shows theirs before you confirm.
Not sure which to book?
If you cannot tell whether you need a counsellor or a psychologist, get in touch and we will point you at the right person rather than the dearer one.
When we are open
Appointments
Monday to Saturday. Hours vary by practitioner and by room, so the booking calendar is the honest answer — it only shows times that are genuinely free.
Admin and enquiries
Monday to Saturday. Call 0426 706 730 or email raek@rkct.com.au and we will come back to you.
