Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral to see a psychologist?
No. You can book privately with one of our psychologists without a referral. If you would like Medicare rebates, ask your GP for a Mental Health Care Plan first, then book your appointment with us.
Can I see a psychologist online?
Yes. We offer secure telehealth appointments by video, so you can work with a Mind-Care psychologist from anywhere in NSW or across Australia. Telehealth sessions carry the same Medicare rebates as in-person appointments when you have a Mental Health Care Plan.
Does Medicare cover psychology sessions?
With a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, you can claim a Medicare rebate for up to 10 individual psychology sessions per calendar year. We also accept NDIS, workers’ compensation and private clients. You can find current details on our fees and funding page.
