Who we are
Emerge Psychology™ is Australia’s longest serving private psychology Telehealth service. We treat mild to moderate high prevalence disorders / anxiety and depression.
We have a delightfully friendly team across Australia (psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers) who thrive given the focus of Emerge Psychology™ on self-care, and the many benefits of working entirely from home. So put a load of washing on and read on if you want to work autonomously but with the benefits on-tap support.
Our unique fee arrangement helps us help our clinicians to make a difference. We do not charge our clinicians a percentage like most organisations, and furthermore, we don’t charge a higher rate when our clinicians earn higher rates (e.g. metro patients, NDIS, work cover). This unique and generous structure supports our clinicians to bulk-bill rural and remote patients yet derive a sound profit. Yay for work that is profitable, interesting and rewarding.
More details regarding our unique fee structure:
Clinicians receive their fees minus ($15.40 per 50+ mins session completed). There is also a membership fee of $27.50 per month.
There is a mix of three different fees that our clinicians bill for their services.
The fees clinicians receive range from (1) the bulk-billed rebate (for rural and remote patients) to (2) rebate amount plus $115 gap (for metro patients) and (3) for NDIS or work cover, the rates you receive are as standard for these third parties. Emerge Psychology™ does not charge any more than $14 per session plus GST, even in cases where clinicians are making double per hour than the rebate amount. Although the bulk of your patients through this service will be rural/remote, with a proportion of patients being billed at these higher rates, on average your profit increases while we support those in areas with work-force shortages.
Run by the prior Clinical Advisor of the APS, this is a service with a mission to enhance your life as a clinician.
