At PAWS Psychology, our psychologists are proud members of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and are fully registered with the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and Medicare Australia.

Our session fees reflect not only the hour of direct therapeutic interaction but also include an additional half-hour of non-billable professional time dedicated to case notes, preparation, and follow-up.

We are also pleased to include the presence of our therapy dogs in our sessions, enhancing the therapeutic experience at no additional cost.
