Therapies Offered

A referral from your General Practitioner (GP) is required if you would like to access Medicare rebates under a GP Mental Health Care Plan. You do not need a referral if you are wanting to use your Private Health Fund to claim a rebate.

Medicare currently provides rebates for up to 10 individual sessions per person per year with a Clinical Psychologist.  A Mental Health Care Plan is completed by your GP - providing you with an 'initial course of 6 sessions'. An update is then provided to your GP from Rose, and you will then be able to be re-referred for an 'additional course of 4 sessions' - therefore up to 10 sessions per calendar year. These sessions can be either face to face or via Telehealth. 

As of July 1st 2024 - Medicare will rebate $141.85 per standard consultation with a Clinical Psychologist. Medicare rebates can be claimed at the practice on the day of you consultation.

Medicare rebates are also available to patients referred by their Psychiatrist or Paediatrician under the Better Access to Psychiatrists, Psychologists and General Practitioners through the Medicare Benefits Schedule Initiative (or 'Better Access'). Only a referral letter is required by your referring Psychiatrist or Paediatrician.

All Clinical Psychology services are exempt from GST and are in line with the recommended fees set out by the Australian Psychological Society (APS). They reflect the level of training obtained by Rose as a Clinical Psychologist, Clinical Supervisor, Intergenerational Schema Therapist, and Accredited EMDR Practitioner.
