With a valid Medicare card, GP referral and mental health treatment plan, you can have up to 10 Medicare-subsidised psychology sessions per calendar year. We offer bulk billing for eligible appointments.
$0a session
Bulk-billed sessions offer the same quality of care, with a more limited choice of psychologists and appointment times.
From $137a session
If you don't have Medicare, or you've used your 10 subsidised sessions, you can pay for your sessions yourself.
Bulk-billed clients have no out-of-pocket cost for their sessions. If you've used your Medicare sessions for the year, you can keep seeing your psychologist by self-funding your sessions.
Ask for a referral and a mental health treatment plan for psychology.
Filter the directory by Medicare bulk billing and compare appointment times.
Pick a time, enter your Medicare details and share your referral.
Telehealth works well for mild to moderate mental health concerns. It is not designed for a mental health crisis or an acute episode. Some examples are:
Because we are a telehealth service, we cannot manage these situations safely. If you are in crisis, please get help in person.
If you are having thoughts of suicide and need urgent support, see your GP. They can assess you and refer you to the right in-person service.
If you feel at risk of acting on these thoughts, or you cannot keep yourself safe, call 000 or go to your nearest emergency department. You can also call Lifeline any time on 13 11 14.
Once you are safe and you have the support you need in person, we welcome you to book with us for ongoing care.
For a bulk-billed session, we need your Medicare card number. You don't need the physical card. If you've lost your card or forgotten your number, you can find your details in myGov.
If you have a valid Medicare card, a GP referral and a mental health treatment plan, you can book bulk-billed sessions. Psychologist choice and availability may be more limited, but the quality of care is the same across all of our services.
You pay when you book online. If our team books a private session for you, your saved card is charged 24 hours before the appointment.
For Medicare bulk-billed, NDIS and DVA appointments, your card is only charged if you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice or miss your appointment. A $100 fee applies, as set out in our cancellation policy.
We don't add a card or bank processing fee. The amount shown when you book is the amount you pay.
