Appointment Types

Medicare Rebated Appointments

You need a valid Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) referral from any GP (including bulk-billing or walk-in clinics).

• If you’re unsure how to request a referral, our admin team can provide a letter to take to your GP, including instructions for sending the MHCP to us.

• Medicare rebates apply to up to 10 sessions per calendar year at $98.95 per session.

• Although individuals with an eating disorder can access up to 40 sessions, we currently do not have psychologists specializing in that area.

Private Health Insurance

Currently, many private health insurance funds are covering online, telehealth, psychological appointments. Please contact your private health insurer to determine if you are eligible for online psychological cover.

The number of sessions an individual will be able to have part of the cost covered varies between health providers. On average this is around 5 sessions per calendar. Please contact to your health provider to determine how many they cover.

Does this mean I do not need a referral from my GP?

If you plan to access rebates from your private health insurer, you may need to be referred by your GP. Please check with your insurer what they require.

NDIS Self-Managed & Plan-Managed

Graciously You Psychological Services is not NDIS-registered.

• NDIS funding can only be used if your plan is self-managed or plan-managed.

• Sessions covered under NDIS depend on individual funding plans and goals.

• Contact your NDIS Plan Manager for details or further assistance.

• You may find out more about NDIS funding by visiting the NDIS Psychosocial Disability page.

Private Appointments

Any individual can self-refer to our service to access support for a range of psychological concerns/symptoms.

A referral is not required for private appointments where an individual is going to pay the entire cost of the appointment and does not intend to access psychological cover through their private health insurance or access a rebate through Medicare’s Better Access Scheme.

What if I am an Australian living/travelling outside of Australia?

Due to the insurance limitations of our registered psychologists insurance this service is currently limited to people residing within Australia.

Report Writing

Our psychologist does not write reports for court or medico-legal purposes as she is not trained in these types of report writing. If you are an existing client and require a report for a different reason, please be aware there is a minimum two week report writing period. Reports are billed as per the APS report writing rate and are not eligible for a Medicare rebate.
