Illuminate Psychology Services Contact

Rooms are located inside "Wagga Work Spaces" at 207 Edward Street.  Look for the dark grey building with Illuminate logo. Best parking option is down Oates Avenue.

Ongoing sessions are a standard 50 minutes. Extended sessions or brief intervention sessions are by request.

You have a few options:

-Self refer with no mental health care plan and pay the full fee. 

-See your GP to obtain a Mental Health Care Plan, a Medicare rebate will be sent to your bank account after your appointment.

MHCP's are created by your usual GP, they outline any diagnosis, symptoms or goals of treatment and are sent along with a referral letter to a psychologist.  You need a MHCP to be eligible for a Medicare rebate. MHCP's last 2 years,  and referrals last for the course of treatment.

You will initially be referred for 6 appointments; then a letter is sent from your psychologist to your GP giving an update on your presentation and treatment and requesting more sessions if needed. 

At this time, you see you GP again for a check in and a new referral for 4 sessions is provided.

A total of 10 sessions per calendar year are rebated. 

At Illuminate Psychology Services 50-minute session fees are set at:

·$250 for initial assessment   

(this covers initial contact, setting up of client files and additional administration costs)

· $225 for ongoing sessions

A Medicare rebate of $96.65 will be rebated if you have a Mental Health Care Plan referral from your doctor.   

Direct ADF/BUPA referrals are set at a higher fee due to additional administration required.

The APS and AAPI set recommended fees in 2024-2025 for a 40–60-minute session at $315. IPS works hard to keep fees below this.
