Reduced fees available!
Generally, concession fees are $20.00 lower than the corresponding full fee for those holding a government concession card. Consideration may be given to those demonstrating financial hardship.
Cancellation of Appointments
Karinya requires at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel an appointment; otherwise a cancellation fee will need to be applied to cover costs.
Waiting Lists
Appointments can usually be made within 24 hours although it may take a little longer if a specific counsellor or psychologist is requested.
