Anger Management Program Australia
Five private sessions by phone or video, practical work between appointments, and a free attendance email and an optional personalised Letter of Completion.
Anger Management Programs Australia (AmpAus) offers a structured way to understand your Anger and work on behaviour affecting relationships, family life or work. You may want to make changes yourself, be responding to concerns from your partner, or be following a solicitor’s recommendation.
The program is for adults aged 18 and over. Many enquiries follow a solicitor’s recommendation; others come from people who want to make changes themselves or after concerns raised by a partner. Adults of any gender are welcome. The work is tailored to your circumstances and depends on your willingness to reflect and practise.
What you work on
Across five one-to-one sessions of 40 minutes, your practitioner helps you examine your circumstances and responses. Relevant topics include triggers and warning signs, assumptions that increase conflict, responsibility without blame, safe and assertive communication and the effect of behaviour on others. Being upset does not excuse intimidation, control or harm.
Workbooks and practical activities are supplied to support self-learning and reflection between appointments. Use the tools in situations relevant to you, then discuss your experience at the next session. Two optional 10-minute check-in calls are included in addition to the five main sessions. These must be booked and used between the main appointments.
Individual appointments give you focused time to work on your concerns. The work also continues between sessions through reflection and practice. Lasting change depends on applying the approaches beyond the appointments.
Your practitioner and continued practice
Melinda Bailey, our Lead Practitioner and program creator, is a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (FDRP), accredited by the Australian Government Attorney-General’s Department. Her background includes corrective services, relationship counselling and family dispute resolution. Your practitioner connects the program material with your circumstances and workbook responses. AmpAus also engages other practitioners. You will know who your practitioner will be before booking. Read more about Melinda and AmpAus.
The final session brings together practical steps for continuing the work. Follow-up appointments are entirely optional and are separate from the five-session program. Optional 30-minute appointments are available after successful completion, subject to availability.
Preparing for your appointments
Choose a private, stationary place where you can concentrate and speak without being overheard. Tell us about access needs, preferred times and any deadline. We will confirm the appointment time and availability before booking.
Tools and skills work together. You decide when and how to apply them, with opportunities to reflect on what happens. This focused program does not replace long-term or intensive psychological support.
Considering NDIS funding?
AmpAus is a private fee-for-service program. Before booking, confirm with your plan manager or the NDIS whether this specific service can be funded under your plan and provider arrangements. An invoice does not establish eligibility. Read the NDIS provider information.
Program fees and prepayment
All fees include GST. The program costs $190 per 40-minute session: five sessions total $950. Workbooks, two optional booked 10-minute check-ins and a basic attendance email are included.
A 5% discount applies when you prepay the five sessions at the beginning: $902.50, saving $47.50. The optional personalised, signed Letter of Completion costs $140. If you prepay the Letter together with the sessions at the beginning, the combined total is $1,035.50, saving $54.50 against $1,090.
Supporting two-session add-ons cost $190 per session. A 5% add-on discount applies to their usual $380 total. See full fees and inclusions.
Attendance email and optional Letter
A basic attendance acknowledgement is included and emailed by our administration team. A personalised, signed Letter of Completion is a separate optional document. It can document attendance, topics covered, the focus of the work, supported observations about expressed willingness to change, engagement, self-learning and between-session activities, use of check-in calls, and any referrals made. Any client admissions included in the Letter are discussed and approved with the client.
We explain what can be documented before you begin. Participation does not require an admission or declaration of guilt. The Letter describes supported observations and relevant client-reported information; it is not a character reference, assessment of future safety or guarantee of a legal outcome. Read about attendance records and Letters.
Ready to discuss the program?
You do not need to label yourself an angry person to take concerns seriously. We can discuss the format before you decide to enrol.
Partners and referring professionals are welcome to ask how the program works. The participant needs to engage in the sessions and practise the approaches themselves; attendance alone does not establish that behaviour has changed.
