When our books are open, we may be able to book you in within a few weeks, although this will vary by clinician.

Our clinicians can only take on a certain amount of clients at a time. This is because we want to enable our current clients to get the most out of therapy, and a big part of that is being able to book in enough regular appointments with their therapist in order to meet their goals. Clinician availability is reviewed regularly.

The Glow Centre does not offer crisis care or accept urgent referrals. If you are experinecing a crisis we recommend that you source crisis counselling by calling 1300 MH CALL. See also our Resources page for more options of 24/7 crisis contacts.

It is difficult for us to provide exact dates. We can provide an estimated time frame based on calendar bookings, however, we are not always able to predict when therapists' calendars will open up again. It depends on when current clients will be discharged. Our clinicans keep a close eye on their caseloads and provide updates when they can, on their upcoming availability.

We don't feel it is ethically right to book you in that far in advance. We would prefer you to phone around to see if another practice might be available sooner, as well as waiting on our waitlist. Keep your options open if you can. We don't want you to wait so long if you need help much sooner.

As much as we would love to book you in to see someone, it is just not good practice to fit someone into an already full caseload as you will not be afforded continuity of care, which is very important in therapy. If you only require one appointment, it may be more helpful to source crisis counselling from one of the services listed here.

The Glow Centre is a private practice, by choosing to see a therapist at our practice you will be required to pay the fee at the time of your consultation. See our Fees page for more.

We do not bulk bill. If you are looking for a bulk billing practice, speak your doctor for recommendations.

Generally, most of our appointment offerings are within our opening hours of Monday to Thursday 9am - 5pm. Some clinicians may offer later appointments during the week, however, these spots usually book out well in advance. We recommend being flexible with appointment times offered, as this will ensure that you begin your therapy journey with minimal delay.

We do not offer assessments at The Glow Centre.

We absolutely love recommendations like this! And we absolutely don't love having to tell you that we can't book you in just now. If your doctor has faxed us a referral, we will write back to them to advise of our waitlist process. Your doctor may be happy for you to wait for therapy with us, or they may decide to refer you to another practice. It is best to keep in contact with your doctor about your decision.

If you are a previous client of our practice, please note this on your booking form. There may still be a wait for an appointment, especially if you will be seeing a new therapist.

Your session fee covers not only the appointment time with highly trained clinician, but also the various costs of running a private practice. These costs include staff wages, business operating expenses, insurances, professional governing body registration fees and much more.

In addition to the time spent with you in session, your clinician will spend time preparing for each session (this can include treatment planning, resource preparation, research and communicating with referrers).
