Plain answers about seeing a psychologist
Short guides to the questions people ask before they get in touch with Telehealth Psychology Australia (THPA): what a session costs, what Medicare and the other funding schemes pay, and how each step works. Every figure is linked to the schedule it comes from.
How we write our guides
Each guide answers one question. It is drafted with the help of an AI writing tool from the practice's own material and the official sources linked at the end of the page, then read and approved by one of our Registered Psychologists before it is published. The reviewer and the review date are shown at the top of every guide.
Dollar figures are checked against the schedule they come from, and checked again when a schedule changes. The guides are general information. They are not advice about your circumstances, and they do not replace a conversation with your GP or psychologist.
