Information about referrals

If you wish to claim a medicare rebate, go to your GP and request a Mental Healthcare Plan and a referral to see me. You can either ask this referral to be emailed directly to me (at drpaigepsych@gmail.com) or you can take a photo and email it to me yourself.

This will allow you to access up to 6 initial sessions with a rebate, and an additional 4 sessions if required, following a GP review. If you would like to then continue therapy, you are welcome to do so but you won’t be eligible for the Medicare rebate and will need to pay privately.

I also accept clients who have other types of coverage (e.g. private insurance, workcover, TAC, NDIS etc.). You can also pay privately from the outset if you don’t have any of these forms of coverage.
