Mental health referrals

Before you visit your GP for a Referral to a Psychologist, phone the psychologist and ask about availability and costs so that you can tell the GP who you want to be referred to.

Make appointments early with Psychologists to get on the waiting list.

Get a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, before attending your first Counselling Appointment with a Psychologist Medicare partial rebate for 6-12 sessions if referred by a GP for a Mental Health Care plan.

Check if your Private Health Fund covers psychologists’ fees (some non-Australians may get a fund rebate).

Christian Counsellors (including some Family Counsellors)

Note that only Dr Catherine Power and Dr Elizabeth Westphal are able to offer Medicare Rebates.

Some Counsellors charge in proportion to your income.

Where there is no Medicare or Private Health Fund rebate for counselling, often, the fees are cheaper.

So, often, your overall costs may be similar to the Clinical Psychology gap fees charged for those with Medicare Cards.
