What is the cost involved?
The UB Psychology Clinic charges moderate fees for services
provided. The fees are not paid to individual
clinicians or supervising staff but are used to maintain and purchase equipment
and tests for the UB Psychology Clinic.
The service fees will generally be from $25 to $60 per
session, but is dependent on family income, and may be higher in some cases. The
actual fee is a matter of negotiation with the Coordinator of the UB Psychology
Clinic.
In line with the UB Psychology Clinic philosophy that no one should be refused service because of financial difficulties, in cases of genuine financial hardship fees can be waived.
Fees are usually payable after each consultation.
Please note that as our services are provided by probationary
and trainee psychologists, private health insurance cannot provide a rebate for
these services.
