If your GP has recommended seeing a psychologist, a Mental Health Treatment Plan gives you a Medicare rebate on your sessions with our registered psychologist.
Getting started
See your GP
If a psychologist is the right support, your GP prepares a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) and refers you. Book a longer appointment, it takes more than a standard consult.
Send us the referral
Your GP can send the plan to us, or you can bring it along. We need a copy before your first session.
Start sessions
Attend, pay the session fee, and we process your Medicare rebate on the spot, usually in your account within a day or two.
The rebate
Your GP initially refers you for up to 6 sessions. After session 6, we send your GP a progress report, and if further sessions would help, your GP can refer you for the remaining 4.
Psychsense is a private billing practice. We do not bulk bill. You pay the session fee on the day and receive your Medicare rebate back, usually within a day or two. The current Medicare rebate is $101.55 per session. Contact us for current fees.
If you have extras cover that includes psychology, you can claim through your fund instead of Medicare for any given session. You cannot claim both for the same session. HICAPS claiming is available in clinic.
Our psychologists
Medicare-rebated psychology sessions at Psychsense are provided by our registered psychologists. They work with children, young people, and adults, with a strong focus on neurodivergent people and families, trauma, and attachment.
Sessions are available in clinic and by telehealth.
