Medicare provides a rebate of $96.65 for those who are referred by their GP, a psychiatrist or a paediatrician for treatment of a mental health disorder.
To claim this rebate you will need a referral letter plus a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP or a referral letter from your psychiatrist or paediatrician.
Please bring the Mental Health Care Plan and the referral letter with you to the initial appointment. A total of 10 sessions can be rebated, per calendar year, through Medicare.
