Consultation fee inclusions

Your consultation fee covers more than just the time spent during your telehealth session. The tabs below explain what’s included in your fee, from preparation and consultation time to GP and summary letters. Each component is designed to ensure your care is safe, thorough, and well-documented, while keeping your billing transparent and fair.

Preparation time

Preparation for your appointment may include:

Reviewing your appointment planning form
Reviewing your prescribing and dispensing history in prescription monitoring systems (e.g. ScriptCheck WA)
Reading correspondence received from your GP and other healthcare providers
Reviewing emails, messages or updates received from you between sessions:
- If these updates are short in length and take under 5 minutes to review, they are included in preparation time at no added cost.
- Longer or more detailed updates are reviewed during your consultation (billable time).

Appointment summary letter

All consultations include a personalised appointment summary letter at no additional cost. The letter contains a concise summary of your treatment and follow-up plan, and it is uploaded to your patient portal within 7 days of your appointment for secure access.

Prescriptions and other time-sensitive documents are prioritised first, and your summary is completed as soon as possible thereafter.

Telehealth call

Your consultation

Your follow-up consultation fee is based on the total length of your telehealth call. If the service is eligible for a Medicare rebate, the rebate amount is also determined by the call length.

Non-included documents completed after the call will incur a separate fee

The EDE-Q score is required to finalise your EDP. This can be completed during or after your session, depending on the time available.
A copy of the most recent EDP (if applicable) must be forwarded to me before your new plan can be finalised. This helps ensure continuity of care and accurate record keeping.

Why this matters

Your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you, and clinical and administrative preparations begin the week before your session. The late-cancellation and non-attendance fees compensate for this professional time and acknowledge that others were unable to access care.

Fee calculation

How fees are determined

All appointments are billed privately. Fees reflect not only the time spent in session but also the professional expertise, preparation, and ongoing development required to deliver high-quality, thoughtful care.

As a self-employed psychiatrist, I personally fund all practice expenses, including administrative support, clinical systems, insurance, professional registration, and unpaid time spent on enquiries, preparation and documentation outside appointments.

Private psychiatrists do not receive paid leave, superannuation, or government funding. Maintaining fair and sustainable fees allows me to continue providing spacious, attentive care over the long term.

Fee updates

Fees are periodically reviewed to ensure alignment with professional standards and the costs of providing high-quality care. Updates are posted on my website and will apply to future appointments from the date of publication.
