Medicare Rebates

Medicare rebates are available. To be eligible for a Medicare rebate, an individual must be referred by their GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician.

Patients with an assessed mental health issue

Up to 10 individual sessions and 10 group sessions can be issued. This is every calendar year. There is no cross over from one year to another for ‘unused’ sessions. Referral via a GP Mental Health Care Plan, or a letter from a psychiatrist or paediatrician is required.

Patients with an assessed chronic health condition

Up to 5 individual sessions per calendar year, under the Chronic Disease Management (CDM) initiative. Referral requires a GP Management and Team Care Plan. Please note if you have already used these 5 sessions under speech pathology, physiotherapy or occupational therapy, you cannot get another 5 sessions under psychology.

Contact Medicare on 132 150 to confirm your eligibility prior to your first appointment.

TAC, WORKCOVER AND VICTIMS OF CRIME (VOCAT)
