Questions people ask before booking
What does a session cost at STIA Carlton?
Fees are set per psychologist and shown on each card above. With a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, Medicare pays part of the fee back to you as a rebate after each session; how much depends on your psychologist’s registration type. The gap between the fee and the rebate is what you pay out of pocket, and our intake team will confirm both figures before you book.
Do I need a GP referral to see a psychologist in Carlton?
No. You can self-refer by booking online or calling us. A GP referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan are only needed if you want the Medicare rebate; if you have one, email it to intake@stia.com.au before your first appointment.
Is STIA Carlton a bulk billing psychologist?
No. We do not bulk bill at any STIA clinic. You pay the consultation fee on the day, and if you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan the Medicare rebate is processed after your appointment and paid back to you. Your out of pocket cost is the fee minus the rebate.
How do I get to the Carlton clinic, and is there parking?
The clinic is a 5 to 10 minute walk from bus stops on Lygon Street, tram stops on Swanston Street near Lincoln Square, and Melbourne Central and Parliament stations. If you drive, Drummond, Pelham, Rathdowne and Grattan Streets have 1 hour and 2 hour metered parking.
Can I see a Carlton psychologist online instead?
Yes. Many of the psychologists at Carlton also see clients by video, and our wider telehealth team covers all of Victoria. Choose telehealth when you book, or ask our intake team.
Can I get an appointment before or after work in Carlton?
Yes. Appointments at Carlton run Mon–Thu 7am–8pm, Fri 8:30am–5pm. Each psychologist works set days, shown on their card above, and online booking shows the free times.
How do I book at STIA Carlton?
Use the Book button on this page, which is preset to Carlton, or call 03 9823 5212 (reception Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm). A valid credit card secures the booking, and our reception team will be in touch to confirm your first appointment.
What should I expect at a first session?
The first session is mostly listening: your psychologist asks what brings you in, what you want to be different and what you have tried before, and you agree on how to work together. Bring your referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan if you have one so the rebate applies from the first session. There is nothing else to prepare.
