Rebates
Medicare:
In November 2006, the Australian Government introduced a Medicare rebate for psychological treatment by registered psychologists. To claim this rebate, you will need to see your GP to discuss your eligibility for what is known as the General Practitioner Mental Health Treatment Plan (GPMHTP) or ask your psychiatrist for a referral.
On the GPMHTP and with the referral from psychiatrist, you are entitled to a rebate for up to 10 sessions in a calendar year.
The current rebate by Medicare for a clinical psychologist is $131.6 per session.
Private health funds:
Most private health funds provide a rebate for treatment sessions with a clinical psychologist. This can depend on the type and extent of cover you have. Please contact your fund to enquire as to the extent of your cover.
