Private Referrals
You do not need a referral to see a psychologist and can attend therapy as a private client if preferred. This however means you are not eligible for Medicare rebates. If you hold private health insurance you may be eligible to a rebate depending on the type of cover you hold (please consult with your insurer to determine eligibility).
GP Referral Appointments (BAMH – Better Access to Mental Health referrals)
To see a psychologist under a BAMH referral you will need to access a mental health treatment plan under Medicare by referral from your GP, a psychiatrist or a paediatrician. If your GP is the referring practitioner he or she will need to prepare the Mental Health Treatment Plan during your medical appointment which may require a longer session time with your GP. It is best to book a longer appointment to complete the treatment plan accordingly. Under the Better Access initiative you will receive up to 10 Medicare rebated individual sessions in a calendar year (1 January to 31 December).
Workcover / Workers Compensation – SIRA approved provider service:
We are SIRA approved/authorised health practitioners and are able to provide evidence based psychological services to you.
If you have sustained a physical and/or psychological injury as a result of a workplace accident you may be eligible to receive Workers Compensation benefits under either the NSW Workcover scheme, or the Commonwealth Government’s ComCare scheme.
As a part of these schemes, you may be entitled to medical and related treatment in relation to your injuries, including psychological services. Once you have obtained a Workcover medical certificate from your doctor, together with recommendation to see a psychologist, we are able to commence a treatment plan for your return to work and wellbeing.
