Frequently Asked Questions

We accept all clients therapy, telehealth and assessments. You do not require a referral to attend an appointment with us. Many people decide to see a psychologist without consulting a GP or other health professional. However, if you wish to claim a Medicare rebate for your session, you will require a valid Mental Health Care Plan from your GP prior to your first session with us.

If you have a referral from your GP or psychiatrist, please bring this along to your session as it will be needed for Medicare rebate. You may also want to bring along any information relevant to your goals for therapy or assessment.

Each session with your psychologist is 50 minutes; there may be exceptions to this, however that will be organised specifically with your psychologist depending on your needs.
