​Medicare rebates are available for sessions conducted by psychologists when a current GP referral (Mental Health Care Plan) is presented at initial session. Medicare rebates are for up to 10 sessions per calendar year and we can process them onsite. For general psychologists the rebate is $96.65 per session or you may choose to use your Private Health Insurance to obtain rebate depending on your level of cover. 
​We are happy to discuss with you any questions. 

The Department of Health has a fact sheet for patients about Medicare benefits
