Accessible and Affordable Mental Health Support

The Virtual Mind Centre believes access to mental health care should be available to all people, regardless of their income or lifestyle. We offer reduced rates and bulk billing sessions to individuals.

Reduced Rates

As we are a fully telehealth service, we are able to offer reduced rates to support Australians accessing affordable and accessible mental health support. The Australian Psychological Society (APS) recommends as of 2025, a fee of $311 per hour.

The Virtual Mind centre offers psychological therapy at a reduced rate compared to APS recommendations.

Medicare Rebates

Under the Australian Government’s Better Access to Mental Health Care initiative, individuals can access financial assistance for psychological treatment, making mental health care more affordable.

In any one calendar year, an eligible person can receive Medicare Rebates for up to 10 sessions with a psychologist. This can be accessed every year.

Bulk Billing

The Virtual Mind Centre believes access to mental health care should be available to all people, regardless of their income or lifestyle. As such, we offer bulk billing sessions to individuals who are low income or in receipt of Centrelink benefits.

To access either bulk billing or medicare rebate services:

Step 1

First, you'll need a referral from your GP (General Practitioner) and a Mental Health Treatment Plan.

After your session, we will handle the payment directly with yourself and medicare. You can simply pay the gap that applies to you or have no costs if eligible for bulk billing
