First Appointment? Your Call to Action!
After you book, you will receive an Appointment Confirmation email. It is super important that you read this email and complete the New Client Forms online before your first session. This allows your practitioner to prepare to see you and minimises paperwork on arrival. These online forms are https secure and uploaded to your client file. The link to the New Client Intake Form is in your Appointment Confirmation Email.
Please check your confirmation email carefully to ensure you have the correct location (Lutwyche or Aspley). See our Contact page for maps and directions to find the correct office location.
You’ll receive an email notification for each booking. Keep each email in case you need to cancel. Cancel via the email. If you have any problems or questions call Reception on (07) 3726 5595.
You can reschedule an appointment with 48 hours + notice if need be. Call (07) 3726 5595 to cancel OR click the ‘Cancel Appointment’ link in your booking notification email, then reschedule by calling Reception on (07) 3726 5595.
Contact your practitioner directly if you need an emergency appointment. We can usually accommodate you somehow (especially if you are willing to utilise tele-health).
Fees + DNA Fees
The standard fee for general psychologists is $215 per session. The out-of-pocket expense is approx. $120 per hour for all psychologists with a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan (GP MHTP). Contact your practitioner to negotiate a discount if you cannot afford it. Our Provisional Psychologists and specialist counsellors are $130 per hour, as they are not yet eligible for rebates.
PLEASE NOTE: We charge a $115 Did Not Attend (DNA) fee if you don’t give us 48 hours (two business days) notice of cancelling an appointment. If you need to cancel a Monday appointment, please do so before the weekend.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give us 48+ hours notice. Find your booking notification email and use the Cancellation link in that email. If you cannot find your booking email and you wish to cancel or change your appointment, call Reception on (07) 3726 5595 or email info@northbrisbanepsychologists.com.au ASAP to avoid the cancellation fee.
