Appointment and referral information.

A referral is not required to see a clinical psychologist; however, if you would like to receive the Medicare rebate (i.e., a partial refund) for your psychology sessions you will need to arrange for your GP or psychiatrist to prepare a Mental Health Treatment/Care Plan (referral). 

The current Medicare rebate with a clinical psychologist is $141.85 per session. Your Mental Health Treatment/Care Plan allows you to access the rebate for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. Ally is able to process the Medicare rebate on your behalf at the end of your session. Alternatively, you may be eligible for a partial refund through your private health insurance provider depending on your cover.

Please note that there will be an out-of-pocket expense for each session.

If you have any questions regarding appointments and referrals, please get in touch.
