Psychologist Rebates

Jess Sutton, Kathleen Mckinnon, Kimberley Strachan-Regan and Dr Amy Bloxham are registered providers with Medicare. 

In order to claim a rebate under the Better Access Initiative (Medicare/MHCP) you will need to ascertain a  referral from your General Practitioner (GP). If you meet criteria your GP will complete a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) under the Better Access Initiative. You can currently access up to ten Psychology sessions in one calendar year. 

A report is required to be completed and provided to your GP at session six and ten. 

In order to claim the Medicare rebate for your sessions you will need to bring a copy of your MHCP or doctors referral to your first appointment. If you are unable to provide your referral, you will be required to pay the full fee for the session.

Group therapy: you can currently access up to ten sessions of group therapy per calendar year (in addition to individual psychology).

Private Health: If you are not claiming under Medicare and have a private health fund you can submit your therapy receipts to your provider.

Cancellation policy

Please be aware that if you cancel/not attend your appointment within 24 hours of the appointment time you will be charged the full fee.

Therapy appointments are reserved specifically for you, and your clinician sets aside this time to support you. When an appointment is cancelled or changed at short notice, it can be difficult to offer that time to another person who may also be waiting for an appointment.

Our cancellation policy helps us protect the therapeutic space, maintain a reliable service for all clients, and ensure that our clinicians’ time is used thoughtfully. We understand that unexpected things happen, and we aim to approach cancellations with understanding and compassion while also maintaining clear and consistent boundaries.

The policy is not intended to be punitive. It is simply part of creating a professional, respectful and sustainable therapeutic relationship.
