GP Referrals

Better Access to Mental Health is a Medicare funded scheme for those patients with a diagnosed mental illness and entitles the person to have up to 10 (6 + 4) treatments (in total per calendar year). This funding entitlement is at the discretion of your GP and must be accomplished by a valid referral before any treatment that is carried out by the psychologist.

This practice also offers facilities for Private Health Insurance. Please enquire about which Health Funds are covered and all extras not covered by the insurer will be paid for at time of the treatment.
