A Little Something About Us....
We tried to find available, affordable, and cool psychologists whom we connected with. We quickly found out that they were either not available until a few months later, on the other side of town and there was no time to get to sessions, or not affordable because of financial circumstances (some of us need to feed our kids!).
We started Good Minds because we were once struggling ourselves and wanted to feel Good ASAP.
Therefore, out of hours, 7 days a week is very common for us.
Since telehealth started, it has made it easier for clients to reach out to us, not having to lug their backsides to the couch of a psychologist, they could be at a park, in their cars, on a break from work, or at home in their PJs to name a few scenarios.
That allowed our Good Minds psychologists to also be flexible as well, setting their own hours of operations and availability.
We believe that everyone deserves accessible mental health care! We don’t charge gap fees for sessions during 9-5pm and we bulk bill through Medicare!

Our Fees
Bulk Bill! Bulk Bill!
Finding it hard to find affordable registered psychologists? We know, we’ve been there too, and when you find one, they are either not available until a few months later or life has gotten a hold of our finances! Well, Good Minds hopes to provide you with sessions NOW and we fully bulk bill, no gap fees for sessions.
Medicare covers 10 free sessions for each calendar year
Under Medicare, with a Mental Health Care Plan referral from your GP, you are eligible for 6 sessions initially. If you require additional treatment, you can seek a further 4 sessions from your GP.
No Medicare or have used up the 10 free sessions?
Without MHCP, each session will cost $98 (+cc fees) for a registered psychologist, $143 (+cc fees) for a clinical psychologist. We try to keep our fees affordable.
Other Fees?
We understand that sometimes sh*t happens, so please try to give us advanced notice of greater than 24 hours, otherwise we will have to charge you $50 (+cc fees) for the missed session.
-
Why do I need to present a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP)?MHCP lets you claim up to 10 sessions each calendar year (1 Jan to 31 Dec) and at Good Minds, we do not believe in charging a gap fee. Without MHCP, each session will cost $98+cc fee for registered psychologist, $143+cc fee for clinical psychologist. We try to keep our fees affordable.
-
If this is free for anyone with an Australian Medicare, why do I need to enter my payment details?"We have a no-show or late cancellation fee of $50 (+cc fees) and this will be deducted from the payment details you have provided.
-
Can I change the appointment if something crops up without incurring a fee?Absolutely! As long as you provide 24hours notice (Tues- Fri), no cancellation fee will be charged. Please note, if your appointment is scheduled for a Monday, please do try and let us know by the previous Friday to cancel as we don't really want to work weekends.
-
How do I access the online sessions?After booking, you will receive an email that contains an access link to our video sessions.
-
If I don’t feel connected with the psychologist, can I make the change?"Certainly possible with no questions asked. At the end of the day, we would like you to feel at home in our online sessions so you can have the best support you need.
