No, you don’t need a referral to see one of our psychologists. However, if you are eligible to claim the Medicare rebate you will need a referral and mental health care plan from your doctor stating the type of service and the number of sessions you are being referred for. Please note that Medicare rebates do not apply to services by our provisional psychologists, hence we offer these services at a significantly reduced rate.
If you are coming for insurance reasons (i.e., worker’s compensation or Motor Accident CTP) then you will need prior approval from your case manager.
If you are planning to use your DVA card (white or gold) as payment then you will need a referral from your GP and prior approval.
