REBATES

At Suzi George Psychology, subsidised psychology therapy services can be provided through different referral pathways.
MEDICARE BENEFITS
Medicare benefits are available for a range of specified psychology services for people with mental health problems. To receive psychological services under Medicare, clients must be referred by their general practitioner or psychiatrist. The most commonly used initiatives under which subsidised psychology services can be provided are:
BETTER ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE
People experiencing mental health problems that are being managed by their GP under a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan, or a psychiatrist assessment and management plan, or on direct referral from a psychiatrist, can access up to 20 individual sessions per calendar year.
CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT
People who have a chronic medical condition and complex care needs and who require ongoing care from a multidisciplinary team are able to access up to five individual services per calendar year, as referred by their GP.
PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE
Depending on your private health fund and your level of cover, private health rebates may be available to cover some of your service costs. Please speak with your insurer to find out more about your eligibility to receive this rebate.
Suzi George Psychology is not a bulk-billing practice and has gap-fees associated with Medicare-rebated services.
