Affordable & Accessible Therapy

Progressive Therapeutic Collective works hard to be a transparent, affordable and accessible service.

We don’t receive any government assistance, nor private funding. All of our work is funded solely through our therapeutic activities.

We have chosen to provide a two-tier payment option for individual counselling, in recognition of the cost of therapeutic support.

The financial discount option is available to anyone. We don’t require a concession card. We operate on a system of trust. If that’s what you can afford to pay, that’s absolutely ok! Please just let us know.

We don’t work with mental health plans, or private health cover.

If you can afford to pay the standard rate, we ask that you do, as that helps us to build our practice and contributes to our pro-bono work.

Pay the Rent & Mutual Aid

The Pay the Rent movement calls for non-Indigenous individuals and businesses to regularly contribute financially to Indigenous organisations as part of reparations and restorative justice. This movement aims to provide tangible support to Indigenous communities, addressing historical and ongoing injustices while fostering a sense of accountability and solidarity.

At Progressive Therapeutic Collective (PTC), we've been paying the rent since our inception four years ago.

Each year, we allocate 1% of our annual profit to The Westerman Jilya Institute for Indigenous Mental Health and another 1% to Decolonise Sex Work Australia, a Blak mutual aid fund for sex workers. As a white-owned business, we believe it’s crucial to acknowledge and address systemic injustices against Indigenous communities. Our commitment to mutual aid is about taking concrete actions to bring aboug meaningful and genuine social change.
