REFERRAL TYPES
We accept the following referral types:
Mental Health Care Plan
Medicare’s ‘Better Access’ program allows you to visit a General Practitioner, Psychiatrist or Paediatrician to get a MHCP that grant you rebates for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. Please see your GP to discuss eligibility. You may need to visit your medical professional again for review of your MHCP Treatment Plan.
Self-referrals
If you do not wish to visit your GP to get a referral or are not eligible under Medicare you can simply make an appointment to see one of our psychologists.
Chronic Disease Management Psychology Services
People who have a chronic medical condition that has been present for 6 or more months and have exhausted their MHCP sessions can access 5 sessions covered by the Medicare rebate. Please see your GP to discuss eligibility.
Eating Disorder Treatment and Management Plan
Under this plan you are eligible to receive up to a maximum of 40 Medicare rebated appointments.
You will be allotted an initial 10 sessions, after which time following a review and re-referral with your doctor you will be eligible to receive a further 10 rebated appointments.
In some cases, following a Specialist Psychiatry review appointment, you may then be eligible to receive a further 20 rebated sessions, issued in lots of 10.
Your GP/Paediatrician/Psychiatrist will assess whether you meet criteria for one of the above eating disorder diagnoses and if eligible then they will complete this referral.
Private Health Insurance Claims
We offer rebatable psychological services and are registered with most private health funds. Each health fund offers many different levels of cover and you will need to check with your health fund to see if your cover includes psychology services. We process these rebates using our HICAPS system.
FEES
Please contact us if you would like to enquire about fees.
If you have a relevant referral from your GP, Paediatrician or Psychiatrist, a Medicare rebate will apply for therapeutic sessions. You may receive a greater rebate if you have reached the Medicare safety net. Reduced fees may apply for concession, pension and health care cardholders.
