Please note that we require you to obtain a referral from your GP in order to access our services (even if you aren’t planning to obtain a Mental Health Care Plan). This is to ensure that we can deliver best practice of care, and that there is a medical practitioner who is also involved/coordinated with your psychological treatment.
If you are eligible for a Mental Health Care Plan under the Better Access to Mental Health Care Scheme, then you can claim rebates through Medicare for up to 10 sessions with a clinical psychologist per calendar year (re-sets January 1st each new year).
