Cancellation Policy

True North Psychology requires 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment.
 
You may call our clinic at any time including after hours, as we do have an answering service that allows you to leave a message. The 24 hours notice will be taken into account from the time of the call. Where clinically appropriate, our psychologists may be able to offer a telehealth appointment as a means to help you attend your appointment.  
 
Where less than 24 hours’ notice is given for a cancellation/reschedule, or where a client does not attend a scheduled appointment, the full session fee will be collected on the day of the scheduled appointment via stored credit card details.  
This cancellation policy assists us to ensure the smooth operation of the clinic, and to offer any available appointments to clients on the psychologist’s waiting list. 

If you would like to proceed with booking an appointment or would like any further information please get in touch.

Rebates and Funding Options

Medicare Rebates

With a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) referral from your GP, psychiatrist or pediatrician you will be eligible to receive a Medicare rebate for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.  
​
If you are seeking treatment for an eating disorder, a GP, paediatrician or psychiatrist may be able to assess your eligibility for an Eating Disorder Management Plan (EDMP). This referral allows you to receive Medicare rebates for up to 40 psychology sessions over a 12 month period (with valid GP and Psychiatrist reviews). The EDMP also allows for 20 dietetic sessions.  
 
For all Medicare services, you are required to pay the full fee at the time of the appointment and are then refunded a partial rebate through Medicare. Your out-of-pocket expense is the difference between the Psychologist fee and Medicare rebate. 
More information about Medicare rebates can be found here
​
Please bring a copy of your MHTP or EDMP paperwork to your appointment, or email or fax it in advance to:

Private Health

Some private health insurers cover some of the cost of psychological services. Your insurer can provide you with personalised advice based on your level of cover. Private health insurance cannot be used in conjunction with Medicare services. 

NDIS

True North Psychology has psychologists who deliver psychological services that can be funded by third parties, such as NDIS. All of our psychologists can provide psychological services to self-managed clients, or plan-managed clients. As our psychologists are not registered providers, we cannot provide services for NDIA-managed clients.
 
Clients will be charged at the NDIS schedule fee for the time allocated by the clinician for both direct and indirect service provision, as per the current NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. A full quote will be provided in the Service Agreement after the initial consultation.

WorkCover and DVA

Some of our psychologists are registered to provide psychological services under Workcover and DVA.  For further information regarding which psychologists provide services funded by third parties, and associated session fees, please contact us directly on (07) 3856 0004. â€‹

ComCare

Some of our psychologists are able to provide services under ComCare funding arrangements. These sessions are $243.23 per 50 minute session.
