Provisional Psychologists

Our Provisional Psychologists have completed their postgraduate degree in psychology and are provisionally registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). We support the 5+1 model, so our team have successfully completed 5 years of tertiary study before finishing their training with us in clinic. They are a low-cost psychology option, with sessions starting from only $80 (that’s less than a tank of petrol!) and bring passion, experience and compassion to each appointment.


Payment options available: Private payment, NDIS, TAC, Workcover & EAP Providers

Funding not available: Medicare Mental Health Care Plans (MHCP) and private health insurance

Supervision: All of our Provisional Psychologists are supported by a Board-approved supervisor
