Knowing What to Expect

The Australian Psychological Society recommends $280 for a standard therapy session. However, the practice aims to charge a reasonable rate at $240 per session with Jasmine (2023-24 FY). Please email the practice for information on assessment sessions. Each session is 55 minutes long. The clinician will then use 5 minutes after the session to tidy up session notes or reset the therapy room. All fees are to be paid in full on the same day the therapy sessions are conducted.

Jasmine is a Medicare registered provider ( Please Note: sessions with a provisional psychologist is not covered by Medicare). If you are referred to Jasmine Loo Psychology under a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP), you may receive partial rebates from Medicare for up to 10 sessions per year. The rebates are generally $93.35 per session but if you have reached the Medicare safety net threshold, you may be eligible for a higher Medicare rebate. Please make sure that you request for a GP referral letter and have it emailed or faxed (please do not post via mail) to the clinic prior to your first therapy session. Please ask your GP or Paediatrician for further information or visit https://www.humanservices.gov.au/individuals/services/medicare/medicare-safety-nets

For those eligible for MHTP rebates, Medicare will pay for the rebates into your nominated bank account after you have paid for your session and if the claim is successfully processed.

Telehealth sessions are now permanently covered by Medicare, in exactly the same way that in-person sessions are being covered using a Mental Health Care Plan. Telehealth used to be funded under Medicare only if you lived in rural or remotes regions specified by Medicare.
