Available Rebates and Fee Assistance

MHCP (Medicare)

Under the government’s ‘Better Access to Mental Health Care’ (MHCP) initiative, limited Medicare rebates are available for treatment by registered psychologists. Individuals can get rebates for up to ten counselling sessions per calendar year. The rebate is $88.25 per session (see Medicare fact sheet found on the Medicare website for further explanation).

To receive Medicare rebates, you will need a referral from your GP (or a psychiatrist or pediatrician). They will complete a comprehensive mental health care plan and provide a referral to a psychologist.
