You do not require a Medicare referral to access our services, however, substantial rebates do apply if you are referred by a GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician under a Mental Health Care Plan.

 

Medicare Assistance

 

If you have been referred under a Mental Health Care Plan, you are entitled to a Medicare rebate for up to 10 sessions per calendar year, which covers a significant portion of your session fee. You can either bring the letter of referral/plan with you to your first appointment or it can be faxed through to Psychology on South at any time before your first visit. The full fee is payable on the day and we have on-site EFTPOS and Medicare claiming facilities for your convenience. Further information on Medicare Rebates can be found at:  www.psychology.org.au/medicare/fact_sheet/

 

Private Health Insurance

 

If you do not have a Medicare eligible referral, you may be entitled to a rebate from you private health provider. Eligibility and rebate amounts vary from fund to fund, so please check with your insurance provider.
