National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
Private Health Insurance may provide you with rebates for psychology services. Please check your level of cover with your provider. You do not need a referral to claim private health insurance.
Referrals
A referral from your GP is required to access Medicare rebates for psychology services with a psychologist. If you plan to use private health insurance for your treatment or pay privately without any rebate, you do not need a referral.
​
You do not need a referral to book an appointment with one our occupational therapists, either private paying or NDIS funded.
Medicare
To be eligible for Medicare rebates with one of our psychologists, you must have a valid Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP), provided by your GP or specialist. Prior to your first session with us, you will need to see your GP or specialist who will work with you to develop a MHCP. You will need to bring a copy of your MHCP to your first session.
​
A MHCP provides access to Medicare rebates for up to 10 individual psychology sessions per calendar year. These sessions can be conducted face to face or via telehealth. After your first 6 sessions you will need to return to your GP to review your progress, after which they can provide a re-referral for an additional 4 sessions, if required.
​
​The current Medicare rebate for a standard consultation with a clinical psychologist is $141.85.
​
Medicare rebates are also available to patients referred by a Psychiatrist or Paediatrician under the 'Better Access to Psychiatrists, Psychologists and General Practitioners' initiative. Only a referral letter is required in this circumstance.
