Medicare Rebate Information

• Psychological Services

• In November 2006, Medicare introduced a rebate for psychologists. This rebate covers up to 12 individual sessions or 12 group therapy sessions per year, and in exceptional circumstances, extra sessions may be approved. You must be referred by a GP or psychiatrist, who may recommend a particular psychologist, or to a psychologist of your choice. Psychologists practicing at Therapeutic Axis are registered and have a Medicare Provider Number. The cost and rebate varies between psychologists. If the psychologist bulk bills then there will be no extra cost.
