Code of Ethics
Our Psychologists are registered with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) and therefore abide by the Australian Psychological Society Code of Ethics.
New Patients
All patients under the age of 18 require a parent session for the parents/guardians to see their therapist. Patients over the age of 18 are able to see a therapist without a parent session.
Patients are required to complete an intake form and provide personal and payment details, to engage with psychological care at TT Psychology.
For patients under the age of 18 with separated or divorced parents a consent form must be completed by both parents before the patient can see a therapist.

Consultations
The length and fees of our consultations differ depending on what services you are using at our clinic.
During consultations our clinicians use Heidi, an ambient scribing tool to assist with clinical documentation. By receiving care, you grant consent for the use of this tool to securely capture and record your information in compliance with Australian privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988. You may revoke your consent at any time
Payments
We do not take any payments onsite. All payments are taken online through Halaxy within 24 hours of the appointment time. Payments are processed remotely with the credit/debit card details provided in our patient intake form.
Please note, a patient who does not attend the appointment cannot have the invoice billed under their name. We are unable to transfer an invoice from one patient to another after the invoice has been paid even if both patients attended an appointment together.
We will notify you if there are any payment issues and if we are unable to process payment due to insufficient funds or incorrect card details, patients must update their details within 3 days of the appointment. If this has not been done, there will be a late payment fee of $11 added to the original payment.
If there is an outstanding amount on a patients account due to the above mentioned reasons and it has been longer than 7 days since the original appointment, future appointments will be cancelled.
Please note not all cards are accepted through our payment system. It is at the discretion of the clinic to change the payment process at any time during the course of therapy and clients will be notified accordingly.
Referrals and Medicare Claiming
To receive a Medicare rebate with a psychologist patients can get a Mental Health Care Plan or Eating Disorder Plan from their GP, if eligible. Parent sessions cannot be claimed under their child's referral, if they wish to receive a rebate they must have their own referral.
We can claim with Medicare on behalf of patients for psychology consultations if we have received a copy of a patient's plan with a referral letter addressed to our clinic. The Medicare rebate will be shown in your payment receipt.
We do our best to monitor the amount of sessions patients have had and send reminders when patients require a MHCP/EDP review. Although the responsibility remains the patients to ensure the referral is up to date, in order to receive rebates.
Private Health Insurance Claiming
We are unable to process private health insurance claims and therefore patients must pay in full and then claim themselves with their fund. Please note patients cannot claim through Medicare and Private Health Insurance for the same service.
NDIS Claiming
We are unable to process NDIS claims and therefore patients must pay in full and then claim with NDIS themselves.
