How do I access the Medicare rebates?

To be eligible for a Medicare rebate, you must first see a GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician, who will assess whether you’re experiencing mental health difficulties.

Conditions covered include anxiety, depression, panic attacks, sleep problems, adjustment disorders and more.

Medicare rebates can be accessed in three easy steps:​

  1. Book an appointment with your GP to discuss why you would like to see a psychologist. Ensure you book an extended consultation for a ‘Mental Health Care Plan’. (This is the technical term for a referral to a psychologist.)
  2. If your GP agrees you are eligible, they will complete a Mental Health Care Plan and make a referral to BTS psychology
  3. Your GP will review your progress after your first six sessions. If appropriate, your GP will then recommend an additional four sessions.
