What is a Medicare psychologist?

A Medicare psychologist is a registered psychologist who provides services that can be partly funded through Medicare under the Better Access Initiative. To access this, you need a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) from your GP, which allows rebates for a set number of psychology sessions each year. This makes therapy more affordable for individuals and families. Not all psychologists bulk-bill, but Medicare rebates significantly reduce costs. Many Australians use Medicare psychology services to access support for anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. To learn more about Medicare psychology support, contact us now.
