Bookings & appointments
What happens at my first appointment?
At your first session we'll map out what's going on, clarify goals, and design a plan you feel good about. No referral is required to book — if you're eligible for Medicare rebates under a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, we can process that for you. Whenever you're ready to take the next step, we're here to help.
Fees & rebates
Can I continue therapy after using all my MHCP sessions?
Yes. You may continue with your psychologist, however, you will not be eligible for further Medicare rebates until a new Mental Health Care Plan is issued by your GP.
Referrals
What information is needed for NDIS, DVA or third-party referrals?
We require your client number, invoicing details, and your case worker's name and contact details, along with your usual personal information.
Why do you need a copy of my NDIS plan?
Having a copy of your NDIS plan allows our clinicians to align therapy with your current goals, ensuring treatment is consistent with your support plan.
Therapy & assessments
Do I stay with my child during sessions?
For children under 12, the first appointment is a parent-only session. From there, your clinician will guide you on the best treatment plan. Most sessions are one-on-one with your child, but your involvement will be discussed and tailored to your child's needs.
How do you support teens?
Growing up can be tough — and school pressures don't help. We work with young people and parents on:
- Exam anxiety and performance nerves
- School refusal and attendance difficulties
- Study skills, motivation and routines
- Social anxiety, friendship issues and confidence
- Parent coaching and school liaison (with consent)
How does family counselling work?
Family counselling involves sessions where family members work together with a psychologist to explore challenges, improve communication, and strengthen relationships. The format is flexible and tailored to each family.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies for each person depending on their needs and goals. Your psychologist will discuss this with you in the first session and create a personalised plan.
