To Book an Appointment:
(02) 9713 9265
We have additional measures in place to keep you safe including social distancing, hand washing/ hand sanitiser, cleaning measures and pre-appointment screening.
We ask that you wear a mask in reception but do not require a mask once you are in the session. You are welcome to choose to wear one during sessions if you prefer and you can request that your psychologist wears one also.
If your session is scheduled to be face to face, we ask that you do NOT attend our rooms if you have:
been diagnosed or suspect you may have COVID-19, or have been a close contact of a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19 within the last two weeks
symptoms of cold or flu or have been in close contact with anyone with cold or flu symptoms
travelled to an identified hotspot within the last two weeks
Please note that late cancellations or reschedules with less than 24 hours notice incur a 50% fee however we prioritise the health and safety of our clients and team and will waive the fee in the circumstances listed above.
Where possible, we are continuing to provide a range of options for therapy including face to face, video-conferencing using Zoom and telephone sessions. To improve access to therapy in these times of social distancing, the government has announced that the Medicare rebates that already apply to sessions with a mental health care plan in place will now extend to sessions conducted via video-conferencing or telephone. Normal billing and rebates will apply to those sessions meaning that for most people seeing a psychologist in private practice, there is a co-payment.
We appreciate that this is a challenging time for everyone and that many people are experiencing financial hardship or are anxious about their future financial security. If you have been impacted financially by recent events, please talk to us about your individual circumstances and we will do our best to find an arrangement that works for you. The continuity of your treatment is our main priority at this difficult time.
With limited opportunities to engage in face to face social contact and other activities that may have been important to your mental health, it is a good time to explore the range good quality help that is available online.
