Appointments and fees
Fees
The services of the Psychology Clinic are offered free of charge.
Referrals
The Psychology Clinic accepts referrals from a wide range of health care professionals and organisations. Members of the public are also welcome to contact the Psychology Clinic directly, without a referral, to request an appointment. This can be done by contacting the Psychology Clinic reception.
Intake process
Before an appointment is made, prospective clients are asked to undertake a brief 10-15 minute interview with a clinical psychologist. This is usually done by telephone and the purpose is to ensure that the services offered by the Psychology Clinic are the most appropriate for each client.
Consultations
A standard consultation is 50 minutes.
Waiting list
The Psychology Clinic aims to keep waiting lists to a minimum and clients are given an appointment as quickly as possible.
Exclusions
The Psychology Clinic is mindful of potential dual relationships between Interns and University staff and students and their clients and therefore is not able to provide services for USC staff members, immediate family members of USC staff and students enrolled in the Bachelor of Social Sciences (Psychology) and Bachelor of Social Sciences (Psychology) (Honours) programs.
Child minding
The Psychology Clinic does not have child minding facilities. Clients are asked not to bring children with them unless the children are participating in treatment.
Cancellation policy
If you are unable to attend a scheduled appointment, we would appreciate notification as early as possible by phoning Tel: +61 7 5459 4514. The Psychology Clinic telephone has a voicemail facility for messages if the phone is unattended.
