About Medicare rebates - 2026 rebate $98.95 person session
Medicare rebates are available for individual therapy only with a valid Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) issued prior to the first session.
The clinic will process your claim after billing the full session fee, e.g. $205, the rebate of $98.05 will arrive in your account. Calm Mind Psychology does not offer Bulk Billed sessions (no gap)
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
