Our psychologists are registered with Medicare and can provide services to medicare eligible clients.
To receive treatment through Medicare a patient must be referred by a GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician. The referring specialist must complete a detailed mental health assessment and prepare a Mental Health Care Plan before referring to a psychologist. A copy will be made of the Mental Health Plan prior to the initial therapy session.
Eligible patient can generally receive up to 12 individual services each calendar year. The referring doctor must assess the progress after the first six sessions.
We also offer home visits to most areas on the Sunshine Coast for those unable to make it to the clinic.
