Do I Need a Referral?

You do not need a referral to access psychology services. However, if you want to claim Medicare rebates or bulk-billing you need to have a referral, in the form of a Mental Health Care Plan, from your GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician.

If you are paying yourself, a referral is not necessary. Some costs may be claimed through your private health insurer. If you wish to claim rebates from your private health fund please check with them directly to confirm if they require a referral or not.
