How do I get a referral? | Individual sessions with a Registered Psychologist can be provided under the following referral pathways. GP referral through a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP): - With a MHCP referral from your GP, you will be eligible to receive a Medicare rebate for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.
Private Health: - Book an appointment without a referral. If you have private health insurance, before you book check with your provider as you may be eligible to claim a rebate.
