Child psychologist
Penrith and Kingswood.

No referral is needed to book. If you'd like to claim a Medicare rebate, you'll need a referral and a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP.

Medicare currently rebates up to 10 individual sessions per calendar year under the Better Access program. Your GP usually refers in blocks of 6, then reviews and may provide another 4.

We accept NDIS participants. If your child has an NDIS plan that includes psychology or capacity building, we can work within your plan. Our team can help navigate the process.

We see children from age 4 through to 17, as well as young adults. Our psychologists adapt their approach based on your child's age and developmental stage, from play-based therapy for younger children to more structured approaches for teens.

We ask about your child's needs, what's been happening, and what kind of person your child responds well to. With a large team, we have more options to find the right fit.

It's worth talking to a psychologist when worries, moods or behaviour start to get in the way of school, sleep, friendships or family life, or you're worried. You don't need to wait. The same goes after a big change, such as a loss, a separation or a move. If you're not sure, call 1300 151 110 and we'll help you work out the right next step.

Yes, with a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Medicare pays a rebate for each session and you pay the gap. Since 1 November 2025, the plan, its reviews and the referral come from your child's usual GP or MyMedicare practice. Psychiatrists and paediatricians can still refer directly.

Fees depend on the psychologist and the type of session. With a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your child's usual GP, Medicare pays a rebate for each session and you pay the gap. If your child has an NDIS plan that includes psychology or capacity building, we can work within your plan. Call 1300 151 110 and we'll tell you the fee and the gap before you book.

In Australia, 'therapist' is a general term, not a protected title, so the training behind it varies. Only people registered with the Psychology Board of Australia can call themselves a psychologist, and registration takes years of university study and supervised practice. A child psychologist is a psychologist who works with children, teens and their families. All our psychologists are registered with AHPRA.

We're not a crisis service. If you are in danger or thinking about ending your life, call 000 or Lifeline on 13 11 14 (24 hours). Do the same if you're worried about your child's safety right now.
