Acorn Psychology fees are set between the Medicare Schedule Fee and the APS (Australian Psychological Society) recommended rates. A limited number of bulk-billable sessions are available to people with a demonstrated financial hardship.
Medicare rebates are available when a GP has completed a GP Mental Health Care Plan. When assessed as eligible, most people are able to access two sets of six sessions per twelve months.
