Get Your Mental Health Care Plan Online:
To be eligible for a Mental Health Care Plan, you will need to speak with a GP for an assessment.
If you are experiencing symptoms such as anxiety, stress, depression, or other mental health concerns, your GP may determine that a Mental Health Care Plan is appropriate.
A Mental Health Care Plan outlines your mental health goals and enables your GP to refer you to a psychologist for treatment.
To access Medicare rebates for psychology sessions, you must have:
• A valid Medicare card
• A Mental Health Care Plan issued by a GP
• A referral to a psychologist
