Types of referrals
There's a few ways to be referred to a psychologist.
- Private / Self: Phoning us directly without a referral from a medical professional
- Mental Health Care Plan / Referral from a GP, Psychiatrist or Paediatrician
- Third Party: WorkCover, Insurance Claims, Lawyer, etc
Rebates
- Many private health funds provide rebates for psychological consultations, and all our psychologists are providers with many health funds. Please contact your health fund to check your eligibility.
- Medicare Australia has a Better Access to Mental Health scheme which provides a rebate for up to 10 sessions per calendar year when your General Practitioner, Psychiatrist, or Paediatrician refers you or your child for psychological intervention to address a mental health issue.
Eligibility for the scheme is determined by your medical provider, and requires a mental health diagnosis. A consultation between you and your GP will be needed to make this assessment, and to create the necessary referral documentation for us.
As of 01/07/2022, Medicare will rebate:
- $131.65 per standard consultation with a Clinical Psychologist
- $89.65 per standard consultation with a Clinical Psychology Registrar and Registered Psychologist
Medicare will also rebate an additional 80% of the gap fee when families reach their Medicare Safety Net.
What do I need to do?
Decide if you want to make a private appointment or be referred under a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP)
If you want to engage therapy under a MHCP, make an appointment with your GP before your first appointment to determine whether you are eligible for a MHCP
Once you have the MHCP, contact us to make the appointment
Or just give us a call directly to make an appointment if you prefer to be a private client without a MHCP.
As an approved provider for Medicare, we are proud to offer affordable psychology services to all Gold Coast community members
You will be pleased to note that our fees are substantially below the recommended psychological fee of $267 for a 50 minute session, as set out by the Australian Psychological Society (APS)
