In a well-lit room of the Psychology Clinic Brisbane, two women are deep in conversation. One woman, a Counsellor Brisbane expert, takes notes attentively while the other sits comfortably on a couch.

A woman with long brown hair sits on a white chair, smiling. She wears a white top and green pants. Behind her is a plant, and an orange blanket is draped over the chair.

Medicare Health Care Plan Referrals

As a clinical psychologist, I can provide psychological treatment under the Australian Government’s Better Access to Mental Health Care initiative. As such, your patient may be able to access Medicare rebates for both in-person or Telehealth sessions. Under a Mental Health Care plan, eligible clients can receive Medicare assistance with a psychologist for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.

As of July 2025, Medicare rebates for clinical psychologists are $145.25

Please see the linked PDF fact sheet for information on Mental Health Care Plans for Medical Practitioners.

Chronic Disease Management Plan Referrals:

Medical practitioners can refer eligible patients with chronic diseases to allied health professionals and this allows the patient to claim Medicare benefits for these services. Under this referral pathway, eligible patients can use 5 services per calendar year.
