Frequently Asked Questions
You do not need a referral to book an appointment with a Psychologist, you can self-refer for therapy or assessment. However, a visit to your GP, Psychiatrist or Paediatrician can be helpful, as they can provide you access to the Medicare System with a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP).
A visit to your GP will help determine if you are eligible for a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP). This will allow you to access up to 10 rebated sessions in a calendar year. If you are seeking a MHCP, you are best to schedule a double appointment with your GP, so they have time to complete the necessary paperwork.
The intake appointment will help your clinician to understand your reason for attendance at the clinic and your presenting concerns. This information will be used to develop a treatment plan and therapy goals that will be shared with you in the next session. Your clinician will advise you of the recommended frequency of sessions and will work with you to determine a mutually agreed upon plan for therapy. This plan can also be revisited, and the frequency of appointments may shift as therapy progresses.
The first session is an intake appointment to obtain background information and a thorough developmental history. This is important to provide your clinician with context to understand the presenting concerns and reason for referral. At the conclusion of this session, all assessment options will be presented to the parents. Families will work together with their clinician to determine which pathway is best suited to their needs.
