The Talk Shop Psychologists
The Talk Shop is a group of dedicated psychologists who provide access to high-quality counselling and psychology for everyone. Our Low Cost appointments are available immediately. You can see one of our qualified Psychologists and be eligible for a Medicare rebate for up to 10 counselling sessions per calendar year.
We also offer ongoing counselling to clients of NDIS, WorkCover, WorkSafe, VOCAT, TAC and Medicare. If you have approval to receive psychological counselling under one of these schemes, you can see a Psychologist at The Talk Shop without any cost to you. Please note, due to high demand, our Medicare bulk-billed daytime weekday telehealth sessions have a waitlist of 3-6 months.

We have both male and female Psychologists, with different backgrounds, experiences and languages. We have both Clinical and Registered Psychologists, and all our Psychologists are registered with Medicare and the Psychology Board of Australia. Our Mental Health Social Workers are also registered with Medicare and are accredited by the Australian Association of Social Workers.
We have Psychologists who specifically deal with children, adolescents, couples and families.

Making an Appointment
We have daytime weekday telehealth appointments that are bulk-billed through Medicare when your referring GP provides you with a Mental Health Care Plan, leaving you with only the best mental health care, and no out-of-pocket costs.
Low-cost daytime and after-hours appointments that are eligible for Medicare rebates are also available, and these have a minimal out-of-pocket cost with them.
We have appointments during the daytime as well as evenings and weekends, and our practices are easily accessible, so there is no barrier to getting the help you need and deserve.
Call our friendly reception team on 1300 224 665 from 8 am to 8 pm weekdays, or 9 am to 4 pm Saturdays to make an appointment. You can also contact reception by email at reception@thetalkshop.com.au
In special circumstances, we are also able to provide psychologist home visits, depending on your location, although these are not able to be bulk billed.
