Apologies bookings are currently closed, but please reach out via the contact form below to be put on the wait-list.
About Medicare rebates
Medicare rebates are available for individual therapy only with a valid Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) issued prior to the first session. If using a MHCP you remain responsible for: ensuring your referral is current, monitoring your remaining Medicare sessions and obtaining GP reviews when required.
How the MHCP works
Private health insurance
You may use private health insurance instead of Medicare, but you cannot use both for the same session.
Private health rebates vary by fund and policy.
Please contact your insurer directly to confirm eligibility and item numbers.
Payment and claiming rebates
Payment is required at the end of each session.
If we have your referral and Medicare details, rebates can be processed on your behalf via secure practice software (Halaxy). Medicare typically pays rebates into your account within 1–2 business days.

How the MHCP works
- Visit your GP (a longer appointment is recommended)
- Your GP assesses your symptoms and diagnoses a mental health condition
- Your GP prepares a MHCP and referral
- Your referral initially authorises 6 sessions
- After 6 sessions, your psychologist provides a progress letter to your GP
- You return to your GP for a review to activate the final 4 sessions
- Medicare provides rebates for up to 10 individual sessions per calendar year and is valid for 12 months from the date it is issued
