The cost of therapy can be a significant factor in people’s decision making in regards to where to seek help. Understandably so, the cost of living is high in comparison to what the average person is earning. However, therapy can change lives and it can be a very worthwhile investment.
Sometimes people contact hypnotherapy clinics asking if we offer Medicare rebates to reduce the cost clients have to pay for therapy.

Hypnotherapy is not covered by Medicare.

However, the cost of hypnotherapy – without any medicare rebate, is, on average, similar to the cost of psychology with a medicare rebate.

How is this?
Currently in Australia, in 2026, Medicare rebates cover a maximum of 10 sessions of one to one psychology appointments over a 12 month period. The average cost of a general psychology appointment is between $180 -$280 per session, with the cost coming down to $80 - $185 when a medicare rebate in 2026 of $141.85 for general psychology is applied.
This means that the average amount people are paying out of pocket and with a medicare rebate per session for general psychology is $132.50.
Over 10 sessions this is $1,325.00 (rounded down to $1200 for cost equivalence with hypnotherapy)

In comparison, the average number of sessions required for hypnotherapy is between 3-8, with 6 being a standard maximum required. By working directly with the subconscious, and therefore directly accessing underlying patterns of thought or behaviour that a client wants to address, the duration of therapy can be much shorter. If we take 6 hypnotherapy sessions as the average, (and many issues will be able to be resolved with hypnotherapy sooner than 6 sessions) lets look at the average cost of hypnotherapy in Australia in 2026.
The average cost of hypnotherapy standard sessions range from $100-$300 per session.
If we average this amount at $200 per hypnotherapy session
And a client requires 6 sessions to resolve their issue,
This means that hypnotherapy will cost on average a total of $1200

As you can see the overall cost is very similar between general psychology and hypnotherapy. Therefore, when you are considering the cost of therapy for yourself or a member of your family, remember that even though you will not get a medicare rebate to access hypnotherapy for yourself, the cost that you will pay will not be very different to accessing general psychology with a medicare rebate.

This post is simply about making decisions for therapy based on cost.

After that it is entirely up to you to choose which therapy approach most appeals to you at the time you wish to seek therapy. Either way, if you can, take your time choosing so that you find the therapist who is right for you.

NB. the average total figure given for hypnotherapy ($1200) is high - very few hypnotherapists charge the highest rate of $300 per session so the true average here is significantly lower for most hypnotherapists across Australia.

Hypnotherapists, including at Source Hypnosis, also regularly offer packages to deal with specific issues such as

Weight Loss
Or
Stop Smoking

Many issues can be resolved at Source Hypnosis a cost of much lower than the approximate Australian national average as listed in this post

Every day 20% of Australians are waking up without having had adequate sleep. Research shows that while social factors including having children, physical location and type of housing are factors, the most significant factors are individuals' health functioning and health behaviours. Research also shows that hypnotherapy can assist in improving sleep. Hypnosis helps with sleep by helping to gently and creatively quieten the conscious mind and to allow the subconscious mind to strengthen the association between choosing to go to sleep at an appropriate time, and sleep naturally occurring.

Tinnitus, a common condition of ringing in the ears that affects over 10 percent of people globally, has, like many conditions, a variable level of effect, with some people being affected by tinnitus to a greater extent than others. As shown by clinical research, hypnotherapy can be of benefit to people experiencing tinnitus, with some studies showing increased benefit of hypnosis over habituation and cognitive behavioural therapy, the most frequent and most researched tinnitus management approach. Scientifically hypnosis is beneficial in the treatment of tinnitus in its influence of almost all the brain areas that are associated with tinnitus.
There are a number of causes of tinnitus. People can be impacted by one or more cause, including auditory (such as hearing damage from excessive noise), somatosensory causes (such as relating to jaw issues such as bruxism or teeth grinding) inflammatory causes (such as immune, infectious, thryroid, excessive weight, or anaemia) and psychological causes such as stress or anxiety, trauma, sleep issues or low mood. Hypnosis can be of benefit in assisting in the treatment of tinnitus relating to any of the four main routes (auditory, somatosensory, inflammatory or psychological) to its development.
Get in touch with Source Hypnosis to find out about how hypnosis may be able to help you if you are suffering from the effects of tinnitus in your life.

DEEP RELAXATION AND CALM: People often come for hypnotherapy having lived with, and having carried around, stress for many years, often from as far back as childhood. Life can be so demanding that we do not pay attention the the build up of mental stress that has been put to the back of our minds. Over time the mental effort of carrying around stress in the form of worries, anxieties about things that could happen, regret over things that have happened, pushing away negative memories from the past, and many other causes of mental stress, wears us down. Eventually, many people don't really or truly relax much, or at least deeply, at all. For some, even sleep can be effected by stress. Sleep is our most natural, restorative method of relieving the stresses that we carry during the day. But when we have excessive stress, sleep is unable to fully take care of it all and so we wake up again the next day, not fully rested.
Hypnosis is a totally natural and completely undervalued tool and resource to help people to relax more, and to help people to relax deeply. Hypnosis is so easy to achieve and so easy to gain the benefits from. It is all about the power of your mind. How amazing is that - the power of your own mind. The power of your mind to allow the most amazing changes to happen. The power of your mind to support those changes you want to make, to help positive changes take root, and to release mental blocks that have been stuck in your mind, possibly for many years. The power of your mind to allow you to achieve a state of relaxation possibly deeper than you have ever previously experienced in your life. And hypnotherapy is all about you. The therapist is just a guide - the person being guided is the one who has the experience - like a tour guide of the Louvre - or Uluru, or whatever the guided experience is. It is the same in hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapists guide clients to spend some time with the subconscious, your subconscious. The subconscious has enormous potential and can allow positive changes to happen very quickly, even in the blink of an eye if the person is ready for that. Check out Source Hypnosis website for more information on hypnosis and the subconscious and consider hypnosis and hypnotherapy the next time that you would like to really and truly relax more in your life

Every morning of life brings a brand new day, and with it, opportunities and possibilities - possibilities that we might accept things we cannot change, or plan for those things we can change - that we might act to make change happen, opportunities to feel gratefulness, to breathe, to let the past go, to be present, to stop smoking, to overcome anxiety, to be more relaxed, to be more confident, to be brave, to learn new skills. One new skill might be learning self hypnosis to support optimal functioning of the subconscious and conscious mind together.
