Fees
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY:
​
The cost of an individual 50-minute telehealth appointment is $190.
This can be paid privately, through Job Access or with NDIS funding.
More info on Job Access and NDIS below.
GROUP THERAPY:
Group therapy is priced on a sliding scale of $40–$100 per 1.5-hour session on a PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN basis.
You will be asked to select your own fee (no questions asked!) when you enrol into a Diverse & Thriving Group. The fee you pay will make no difference to your experience in the group or the resources you can access. We are hoping this will allow us to offer more affordable support to those who need it!
If you would like a suggestion for what to pay you can follow this income-based scale. However, we understand that income is just one of the many complex factors in financial wellbeing so please choose an amount that suits you.

financial assistance
We understand that there can be financial hurdles to accessing mental health care – especially with the current cost of living.

We are happy to arrange a payment plan that suits your needs. We also have a small number of low-cost places available for those who qualify. Group therapy is another more cost-effective option.
