Fees, Rebates and Schedule The Australian Psychological Society, as at 1 July 2009, recommends a standard session fee of $206. Donna's fees are lower than this to help make counselling more affordable for all. Also, if you are referred by your doctor through the Better Access to Mental Health* system, you may claim a Medicare* rebate which pays for more than 50% of the counselling fees. Those you have private Health Insurance may claim a refund between 20% and 80% deprending on which ancillary or "extra" schedule they have chosen.
