Medicare ONLY

Counselling Sessions are provided under Medicare Bulk Billing or via Victims Services for Victims of Crime. 

​

I have recently ceased providing counselling via any other funding sources due to my capacity being limited.

 

Medicare

 

My counselling support is provided to those who have a referral to see me from their GP and a mental health treatment plan. Usually, a person is eligible for up to ten sessions per calendar year. Having a mental health treatment plan via your GP enables you to have your sessions bulk billed to Medicare. A person may not need to use all of the sessions as it depends on their level of need. 

 

I am a registered Medicare provider.  Fees are charged according to Medicare's Fees Schedule for Social Workers. 

 

Victims of Crime

​

I work with Victims of Crime who have been approved for counselling via Victims Services. 

 

Referral Process

​

Contact your medical centre and make an appointment to see your GP. Let the receptionist know that you require a consultation for the purpose of being referred to a counsellor.    

​

Ideally, most of the people I see have gone to their doctor and have obtained a mental health treatment plan, and then the doctor arranges for the treatment plan to be emailed to me. I then contact the person with the plan and schedule an appointment. A person can contact me directly to schedule an appointment but they must have a referral from their GP or be prepared to obtain one. I will confirm that you have a referral and mental health treatment plan before an appointment is scheduled.  

 

At your initial consultation with me I will need your Medicare details so bring your Medicare card or provide a picture of your card. 

​

I do not accept cash. I bulk bill only as the method of payment for my service.
