We generally have appointments available within 2 weeks. Longer waiting times may occur when there are specific requirements such as seeing a Clinical Psychologist, however our waiting list can provide earlier appointments following cancellations.

We do not offer bulk billed appointments, however for those struggling financially we may be able to accommodate a lower fee on a case-by-case basis.

Our administrative staff will take your payment before your appointment. Depending on your funding and/or referral type they will either send your invoice to your third-party payer for payment, or for Private and Medicare appointments they will take your payment of Cash or Eftpos and if applicable, process your rebate with Medicare on your behalf.

With an eligible referral, Medicare will rebate up to 50% of your appointment cost. Our friendly administrative staff will process your rebate through to Medicare on the day. If you have a registered bank account with Medicare, Medicare will deposit your rebated amount into your account within 24 hours. If you don’t have an account set up with Medicare, they will send you a letter. You can check if you have a bank account registered by logging in on the MyGov Medicare page.

What is a Mental Health Care Plan?

We all experience challenging emotional and psychological issues at different times that we can sometimes need some help with. A MHTP is a plan created by your doctor to help address these issues. The plan will identify what type of healthcare you need and the goals to achieve this. The doctor may make a referral for you to see a mental health specialist.

How do I get one?

Book in a long consultation with your regular GP who will assess your eligibility for a MHTP. The GP will ask you a few questions to understand your situation.

What does it cover?

A MHTP makes you eligible for rebates back from Medicare for 20 sessions per calendar year. You cannot get rebates for the sessions all in one go.
