In March 2020, changes to Medicare, TAC and Workcover now enable clients to have a more flexible access to mental health sessions.   

 

Clients with a valid Mental Health Plan can receive a rebate or bulk billed for up to ten times a year (initial 6 plus 4 additional after a review from their doctor).    

​

Similarly changes to TAC and Workcover and private insurance also allow clients to be seen online or by phone.

​

Online consultations:   

          Coviu/Zoom or FaceTime - dependent on client preference.  I primarily use Coviu (an Australia secure

          online platform) which is recommended by the APS (Australian Psychological Society).  

​

          Please make sure that you are somewhere you feel comfortable talking and able to speak frankly if

          required.  Also, prior to an online session, you will be sent a link to a secure online room.   If there

          are any technical difficulties, I will continue the session by phone.
