You don’t need a referral to see us. However, you will need a referral to claim any Medicare rebates you may be eligible to receive. If you have private health insurance, you may also be eligible to claim a rebate, depending on your coverage.

Your GP prepares a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) to outline your mental health needs and provide access to psychological services under Medicare.

With a valid plan, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates for up to 10 sessions with a psychologist each calendar year, helping to reduce your out-of-pocket costs.

If you are under 25, you may qualify for specific Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) rebates covering the assessment and treatment of neurodevelopmental conditions and qualifying disabilities such as autism and/or ADHD.

You will need a referral from a GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician to access these rebates.
