Psychology appointments in Sunbury
Psychology appointments are a private and structured way to talk through what has been happening, understand patterns, and build practical strategies that fit your life. People commonly book psychology when stress, anxiety, low mood, emotional regulation, school concerns, work pressure, relationship strain or life changes are starting to affect day-to-day function.
At 101 Physio Sunbury, the first appointment is usually focused on understanding your goals, history, current concerns and what support would be most useful. For children and adolescents, the first step may include parent or caregiver information so the psychologist has the right context before planning therapy or assessment.
ADHD, ASD and cognitive assessments
Our Sunbury psychology service also supports neurodevelopmental and cognitive assessment pathways. These appointments are different from a standard therapy session. They are more structured, may include questionnaires or standardised assessment tools, and usually require more than one appointment.
- ADHD assessments can help clarify attention, impulsivity, executive function and school, work or home impacts.
- ASD assessments can help explore social communication, sensory patterns, routines, developmental history and functional impact.
- Cognitive assessments can help identify learning strengths, cognitive profile and areas where extra support may be useful.
Mariam works across our Melton and Sunbury clinics and leads ADHD and ASD assessment pathways. Reta is Sunbury-based and leads cognitive assessments at Sunbury. Assessment suitability depends on age, goals, referral information and availability, so the best next step is to call reception before booking if you are unsure.

Referrals, Medicare, NDIS and private payment
You do not need a referral to book a private psychology appointment. If you have a GP Mental Health Care Plan, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates for psychology sessions. If you are using NDIS or private health insurance, eligibility depends on your plan, funding and appointment type.
- Medicare Mental Health Care Plan: speak with your GP first if you want to claim Medicare rebates.
- NDIS: psychology may be available if your plan includes appropriate funding.
- Private health: rebates vary by insurer and level of cover.
- Private payment: available for therapy and assessment appointments.
Fees and rebates can change depending on the appointment type, especially for ADHD, ASD and cognitive assessments. Please call (03) 9746 6852 and our team can explain the current pathway before you commit.
