Referral and Mental Health Care Plans

• Please see your General Practitioner (GP) for a referral and to set up a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) prior to your first appointment.

• A MHCP is needed to claim a Medicare rebate of $89.65 per session. In order to access Medicare rebates clients must be Medicare card holders and provide us with a valid referral from their GP.

• Clients are eligible to claim the above rebate for 10 sessions per calendar year.

Session and fees

• Sessions are 50 minutes in length. 

• The cost is $210 per session. Clients with Mental Health Care Plans are eligible for a government rebate of $89.65 per session.

• Payment is required in full after each session, and rebates are generally processed within 1 to 2 business days of receiving payment. 

Cancellations

• If you are unable to attend your appointment please email Angela at angela.mccahey.psy@gmail.com as early as possible.

• Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before your appointment to avoid a $100 cancellation fee.
