Mental health Care Plans
- Available with a referral from your treating GP, Paediatrician or Psychiatrist
- Once referred, you may receive up to 10 sessions every calendar year. The initial 6 sessions are delivered after which, a review with your referring GP/Psychiatrist is required to determine if you are eligible to access the remaining 4.
- To claim the Medicare rebate, you must provide the referral letter and MHTP before or at the time of the first appointment.
- Medicare rebates are processed onsite, meaning you won't have to attend a Medicare service Centre to claim this rebate
- With the rebate there is still a small out of pocket expense of $75 however arrangements can be made for those experiencing financial hardship.
Clinical Supervision - $160

- As an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, health funds including Bupa and the Teachers Health Fund can be claimed for services delivered
- When accessing a private health fund rebate, please notify Mindical Counselling Services before your appointment. The full fee is payable at the time, and an itemised receipt will be provided. You can then claim a rebate via the channels provided by your private health fund.
