MEDICARE AND PRIVATE HEALTH FUNDS
Medicare rebates are available to clients receiving psychological services from psychologists registered with Medicare. This rebate is claimed back through Medicare when psychology services are provided in conjunction with a Mental Health Care Plan prepared by you General Practitioner (GP), Paediatrician or Psychiatrist via referral.
The rebate is given for up to 6 sessions initially, followed by a further four sessions if required, and all claimed per calendar year. Rebates vary from 15% to 85% of the consultation fee depending on the session format (individual vs group/family therapy) and session length. Please visit the Medicare at www.medicare.gov.au to see the full range of rebate value.
All psychologists at the practice are recognised providers with Medicare and other Private Health insurers. If you are not eligible for Medicare Rebates, you may still be able to claim from your Private Health fund with the right level of cover (e.g. Medibank Private, MBF, Old Teacher's Health, Navy Health, NRMA, NIB etc).
