What Can I Expect?

You can expect to discuss your feelings, behaviour, relationships, goals or problems. We aim to understand your situation, as you see it. We offer new strategies for approaching, and a different perspective on your problem. If you are suffering from anxiety or depression we provide cognitive behaviour therapy treatment programs. A psychologist does not prescribe medication.

How Long Is A Session & When Can I Get An Appointment?

Each session is 50 minutes in duration and an appointment can usually be booked within two weeks.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Each individual and situation is different. Some people achieve a different perspective in one session while most need more. Generally approximately six sessions are required. For mental health problems more sessions may be needed.

Payment

We accept cash or cheque. Please call us for up to date information about cost. Medicare refunds apply but there is a gap fee. Private Health Cover Extras apply so please check the amount of your rebate with your fund. The cost is completely covered by the insurance company if it is a work or vehicle related injury and you have an accepted claim.

Credit, EFTPOS and HICAPS facilities are also available. A non-attendance fee of $75.00 will be charged for non-arrival without at least 24 hours notice.

Do I Have To Be Referred By A Doctor?

You will need to see your doctor for a mental health plan before you can claim the Medicare refund. A referral is required to claim on WorkCover and motor vehicle accident insurance. You do not need a referral to use your private health cover or if you personally pay the fee.

Can I claim the cost on Medicare or Private Health Cover?

You can claim a Medicare refund, but there is a gap fee. To claim the Medicare refund, you have to be assessed and referred by a GP who if appropriate will write a mental health care plan.

You can claim under Private Health Cover Extras. Please check with your provider about your cover.

The cost is totally covered by the WorkCover insurer or Allianz if a work injury or motor vehicle accident is the cause of the problem.
