Fees and Session Costs
Individual Therapy Fees
Conscious Mind Centre values transparency and fairness in pricing. Our psychology fees reflect the experience and expertise of our clinicians, who provide trauma-informed, evidence-based care tailored to each individual.
Each clinician has different areas of interest, so fees may vary depending on the practitioner and the type of session required.
Standard sessions are 50 minutes, longer appointments are available for complex or specialised therapy. Full session details are outlined in the tables below:
We do not offer bulk-billed or reduced fee appointments.
Conscious Mind Centre welcomes Private Fee patients (no referral required), rebates for most Private Health Insurers, and Medicare Mental Health Care Plan referrals from GPs and Psychiatrists, Medicare rebates will apply with a valid referral.

Medicine-Assisted Therapy Fees
Conscious Mind Centre delivers Medicine-Assisted Therapy as a structured, full treatment protocol. The core components of this treatment are fixed to ensure therapeutic integrity, patient safety, and ethical governance. Optional add-on services may be available where clinically appropriate.
Access to Medicine-Assisted Therapy occurs in two distinct stages: screening and treatment.
Stage 1: Screening
Screening Fees (privately funded, out-of-pocket; Medicare rebates may apply)
Screening involves a comprehensive medical and psychological assessment conducted by our Authorised Prescriber Psychiatrist and Clinical Psychologist to determine your eligibility and clinical suitability for this treatment.
Screening is mandatory for all patients seeking access to Medicine-Assisted Therapy. Completion of screening does not guarantee access to this treatment.
To be eligible for screening, we require valid referrals from your treating GP or psychiatrist. All eligibility outcomes are determined following full clinical review. Contact our Administration Team for further information.
Stage 2: Treatment
Treatment Fees (privately funded, out-of-pocket; Medicare rebates may apply to components of care)
Treatment costs vary depending on:
- Type of medicine used – this is determined by the MAT-team during screening and you will be informed on acceptance into treatment
- Number of active dosing days
- Individual response to treatment
All treatment fees and applicable rebates are discussed only with patients who meet eligibility criteria following successful completion of the screening process.
