Referrals and Rebates
At Your Space Collective we aim to make accessing therapy and psychology services as straightforward as possible. Below is what you need to know about referrals, rebates and eligibility for Medicare, NDIS, and private paying sessions.
Clinical services are charged at $250 per clinical hour.
This fee reflects specialist training and experience in clinical and health psychology

Rebates available? | Yes. A partial rebate of a minimum of $145.25 for 10 sessions/year. The rebate is higher if you have reached your Medicare safety net. | Yes.
