Fees
Rebates:
No referral is required for psychological services; however, a referral will be required if you wish to access Medicare rebates.
Medicare rebates on psychological services are available for a range of individuals, including:
-
individuals with a mental health diagnosis
-
children with a disability
-
women who have concerns about a current or recent pregnancy (within 12 months)
-
individuals with a chronic medical condition with complex needs
-
individuals who identify of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent who require follow-up allied health services.
To obtain a Medicare rebate for psychological services a referral is required from a general practitioner (GP) or in some cases a psychiatrist or paediatrician. To receive a referral your GP will need to complete a Mental Health Treatment Plan prior to your first session and provide a written letter addressed to the psychologist of your choice. This may take longer than a standard GP appointment, and you may need to book a longer appointment with your GP.
Private health funds may also provide a rebate for psychological services.
