Bulk Billing – No Cost To You

To be considered for bulk bIlled appointments eligible clients must hold a current Pension or Health Care Card. In addition to this eligible clients require a current GP referral and Mental Health Care Plan. If you are bulk billed, you will not be charged for your appointment. If you have already obtained a GP referral please ask your GP to fax a copy of your this along with your Mental Health Care Plan to us at (07) 3540 8136 prior to your first appointment.  Prior to booking a bulk billed appointment please contact us at 1300 14 HELP (1300 14 4357) or at [email protected] to discuss suitability and appointment availability.

Medicare Rebate – Gap Fee to Pay

Eligible clients need a Mental Health Care Plan from their GP.  You need to ask your GP to fax a copy of your Mental Health Care Plan to us at (07) 3540 8136 before your first appointment.   Your credit card details will be taken at the time of booking and the total fee will be charged to this card after your appointment.  If you see a Generally Registered Psychologist will receive a rebate of $96.65 and if you see a Clinical Psychologist you will receive a rebate of $141.85.  The Medicare Rebate will automatically be processed and deposited into your nominated account.   If for any reason Medicare finds you are not eligible for a rebate your credit card will be billed the full amount for the appointment.

Privately Paying Clients

You will pay all the costs of your treatment.  Your credit card details will be taken at the time of booking and the full amount charged to this card.   If you are unsure if you are eligible for any funding assistance please give us a ring and we can discuss funding options with you.   We accept a range of funding options including Medicare, Private Health Insurance/Funds, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA), Employee Assistance and Work Cover Claims.   We are also happy to work with organisations and services to try to ensure everyone is able to access a psychologist.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major debit/credit cards. We unfortunately cannot accept cheques or bank transfers.

 

Are there any long-term contracts?

There are no contracts or long-term commitments, but we do believe that change happens over time and the best results come about during a long-term relationship with your psychologist.

 

Do I require a GP or Doctors referral?

Referrals are not required unless you are claiming rebates from medicare, health funds, employee assistance, or disability insurance.

Telehealth Psychology

for YOUR life

in YOUR time

Telehealth Psychology is a way for you to receive a valuable service in a different format, one that better suits your needs and your situation.

It takes the technology we use everyday and puts it to use in a way that’s beneficial to your life, in the moment that suits you best.

One in five Australians struggle with mental illness but less than half seek treatment, according to the National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing. There are millions of people that could benefit from therapy but don’t seek the help they need because traditional therapy doesn’t adapt to their unique situation.

PsychHelp is here to change that.
