Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. All our psychologists are registered with Medicare. So, following a mental health review, you may be eligible for up to 10 sessions (per calendar year). We must have a current referral for a client to claim a Medicare rebate. We process rebates for you.

To be eligible for a Medicare rebate, you must first see a GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician, who will assess whether you’re experiencing mental health difficulties. Conditions covered include anxiety, depression, panic attacks, sleep problems, adjustment disorders and more. Medicare rebates can be accessed in three easy steps:

  1. Book an appointment with your GP to discuss why you would like to see a psychologist. Ensure you book an extended consultation for a ‘Mental Health Care Plan’. (This is the technical term for a referral to a psychologist.)

  2. If your GP agrees you are eligible, they will complete a Mental Health Care Plan and make a referral to the psychologist you would like to see.

  3. Your GP will review your progress after your first six sessions. If appropriate, your GP will then recommend an additional four sessions.

If your policy covers psychology, you can claim a rebate via your provider. To find out how much you get back and the number of sessions you’re covered for, please contact your provider.

No. You need to choose one option—either a Medicare rebate or a private health claim. They cannot be combined for the same session.

Our psychologists provide psychological services for:

  • Work Cover

No, you don’t need a referral to see a psychologist. However, to access Medicare rebates, you will need a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP or a referral from a psychiatrist / paediatrician.

Your psychologist will explore what has brought you to therapy, discuss your goals, and help you decide how we can best support you. It’s also an opportunity for you to get to know your psychologist and decide if you want to proceed with therapy sessions – compatibility assessment.

Standard therapy sessions are 50 minutes. Assessment sessions may vary depending on your specific needs.

You can book online, call us, or email. We ask that you provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule to avoid a cancellation fee.
