Australia runs one national scheme for registered health practitioners. It is governed by the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law, which each state and territory has passed. The Psychology Board of Australia sets registration for psychologists.
The Medical Board of Australia does the same for psychiatrists. Both work through the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, which holds a single register covering the scheme's professions.
Counsellor and psychotherapist are not among those professions, so the register does not answer for those titles. You can check a psychologist on the AHPRA register of practitioners.
What a session costs varies with training, setting and where the practice is. What therapy costs in Australia sets out the current picture.
Real choice. Authentic, independent, clinician-led care.
TherapyRoute is a clinician-led directory that champions independent practitioners who answer to you and their professional ethics, not to investors or corporate interests. We don't take commissions, sell your data, or assign therapists by algorithm. You browse, compare, and choose.
