Subsidised by the Better Access to Mental Health Plan

If your General Practitioner considers that you qualify, they may provide you with a Mental Health Care Plan which allows you to have up to 10 sessions of focussed psychological strategies per year.  Book a longer appointment with your doctor to discuss this option. The doctor requires a report after six sessions before he/she can allow you to access further assistance. For further information about a Mental Health Treatment Plan, see Health Direct. 

We are not a bulk billing clinic. The current rebate for individual work is $82.30. That leaves a gap of $97.70 for a standard session. This must be paid on the day of your session.

Unfortunately Mental Health Care Plans are not designed for relationship issues and Medicare does not permit practitioners to use them for Couples Counselling. They are designed for individual mood problems.2

Subsidised by Your Private Health Cover

Rebates are available with extras cover through Teachers Health and Bupa. Unfortunately it is not permitted to claim both the Mental Health Care Plan in addition to a private health rebate.
