Seeing a psychologist can feel like it's full of unknowns. See below for details on costs, rebate options, your rights and my policies.

billings
Australian psychological associations (APS, AAPi) currently recommend psychologists charge a fee of $311 to $ 315 for a 50min standard consultation with a psychologist.
Your initial consultation will cost $275, and subsequent sessions will cost $265. Out of business hours appointments may attract an additional surcharge.
If you have a referral from your GP (called a Mental Health Treatment Plan) you can access a Medicare rebate that will cover part of your session. If you are accessing treatment for an eating disorder, this referral from your GP is called an Eating Disorders Treatment Plan and affords you more rebatable sessions per year.
You may alternatively use your private health extras insurance to claim a rebate on sessions - please check with your insurer as to whether you are covered for psychology.
