Rebates & Funding

There are several ways you may be able to access financial support towards psychological services. Your eligibility will depend on your individual circumstances, referral arrangements, and level of cover.

Medicare:

If you have a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral from your GP or another eligible medical practitioner, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate for individual psychology appointments.

Eligible clients can currently access Medicare rebates for up to 10 individual mental health treatment sessions per calendar year.

Medicare does not cover the full appointment cost, and an out-of-pocket amount will apply.

You do not need a referral to attend Psyche privately.

Private Health Insurance:

Depending on your level of Extras cover, you may be eligible to claim a rebate for psychology appointments through your private health insurer.

Rebate amounts and annual limits vary between insurers and policies, so we recommend contacting your health fund directly to confirm your eligibility and expected rebate.

Private health insurance and Medicare cannot be claimed for the same appointment.

Other Funding Arrangements:

If you are hoping to access psychological services through another funding arrangement, you’re welcome to get in touch before booking to discuss whether Psyche is able to accommodate this.

Cancellation Policy

Your appointment time is reserved specifically for you. Providing adequate notice if you are unable to attend allows the appointment to be offered to someone else who may be waiting and helps Psyche provide a fair and accessible service to all clients.

If you need to cancel or reschedule an individual appointment:

  • More than 48 hours’ notice
    No fee applies.

  • 24–48 hours’ notice
    50% of the appointment fee applies.

  • Less than 24 hours’ notice or non-attendance
    The full appointment fee applies.

Cancellation and non-attendance fees are not eligible for a Medicare rebate and are therefore payable privately.

I understand that unexpected circumstances can arise. If something outside of your control prevents you from attending, please get in touch as soon as possible so your circumstances can be considered.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. You can access individual therapy at Psyche by self-referring and paying privately.

    If you would like to access Medicare rebates for eligible individual psychology appointments, you will need an appropriate referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP or another eligible medical practitioner.

  • Your first appointment is an opportunity for us to begin getting to know one another.

    We’ll talk about what has brought you to therapy, what has been happening in your life, and what you might like support with. You’ll also have an opportunity to ask questions and get a sense of whether working together feels like the right fit.

    There is no expectation that you share everything at once. We can move at a pace that feels manageable for you.

  • You will need a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone, and a private space where you feel comfortable speaking openly.

    Further information about accessing your Telehealth appointment will be provided before your first session.

  • This will depend on your individual needs, circumstances, and therapeutic goals.

    Some people attend weekly or fortnightly, while others benefit from appointments spaced further apart.

    We can discuss what feels appropriate for you and review this as therapy progresses.

  • There is no set number of sessions that is right for everyone.

    The length of therapy can vary depending on what you would like support with, your goals, the therapeutic approach we use, and what feels helpful for you.

    We can regularly review how therapy is progressing and make decisions together about what comes next.

  • Finding the right therapeutic fit is important. Your first appointment gives us an opportunity to meet, discuss what you are looking for, and consider whether my approach feels suitable for you.

    If I believe your needs would be better supported by another clinician or service, I will discuss this with you openly and, where appropriate, help you consider other options.

  • Yes. Your privacy and confidentiality are an important part of psychological care.

    There are some circumstances where psychologists may be legally or professionally required to disclose information, including where there are serious concerns about safety or where disclosure is otherwise required by law.

    Confidentiality, its limits, and how your information is managed will be discussed with you as part of the consent process before commencing therapy.

  • Yes. As Psyche operates entirely via Telehealth, appointments can be accessed from across Australia.

    If you are located outside Australia, please enquire before booking, as there may be professional, regulatory, or insurance considerations that affect whether psychological services can be provided while you are overseas.

  • No. Psyche Clinical Psychology does not provide crisis or emergency support and is not monitored continuously outside of scheduled appointments.

    If you are in immediate danger or require urgent medical assistance, please call 000 or attend your nearest emergency department.

REGULATE Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. You do not need to have Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), or any other mental health diagnosis, to participate in REGULATE.

  • No. You can choose to complete the full 24-week program or participate in individual modules, depending on what you would most like support with.

    More information about upcoming modules and enrolment options will be provided when you enquire.

  • Yes.

    REGULATE can be completed alongside individual therapy and may provide additional practical skills to complement the work you are already doing.

    You do not need to be an existing Psyche client or receive your individual therapy through Psyche to participate.

    With your consent, there may also be circumstances where communication between treating professionals is helpful in supporting your care.

  • Yes. REGULATE can be completed as a standalone psychological skills program, and you do not need to be attending individual therapy to participate.

    For some people, REGULATE can provide a gentler starting point if one-to-one therapy feels daunting, offering an opportunity to develop practical skills, confidence, and a language for understanding emotions before exploring things more individually.

    However, participants are strongly encouraged to have an established professional support person, such as a GP, psychologist, or other appropriate health professional, who they can access for individual support if needed.

    REGULATE is a skills-based group program and is not intended to replace individual psychological care or crisis support.

  • REGULATE operates as an open group, with opportunities to join at designated points throughout the program depending on the module you are interested in completing.

    Group sessions are held after hours via Telehealth to make participation as accessible as possible around work, study, family, and other daytime commitments.

    Upcoming start dates, session times, and module availability will be provided upon enquiry.
