Medicare
You will need to make an appointment with your GP (or referring Dr) to assess whether you can benefit from counselling with a Psychologist. If Psychological support would be beneficial, they will provide you with a referral and a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) allowing you to access counselling with a Psychologist under the Better Access Mental Health Care Initiative (MBS)
Medicare provide a rebate for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.
Psychology fees are also claimable through Private Health Funds. These rebates vary depending on the Health Fund and the individual level of cover. Please check with your provider for this information.
Cancellation or Missed Appointments
Full session fee will be charged if appointments are cancelled with less than 24 hours notice.
It is recommended that missed appointments be rescheduled rather than allowing non-scheduled gaps that can interfere with the therapeutic process.
