Visit your GP and request a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP). The GP assesses your mental health and provides a referral. With the MHTP you're entitled to 10 Medicare-rebated psychology sessions per calendar year. After your first 6 sessions, return to the GP for a review to access the remaining 4. Some patients qualify for additional sessions in extreme circumstances. The MHTP referral is required at every psychology appointment for Medicare to apply.

General psychologist: $180-$280/session standard fee. With Medicare MHTP rebate ($96.65), out-of-pocket $80-$185. Clinical psychologist: $230-$330/session. With Medicare rebate ($141.85), out-of-pocket $90-$190. Bulk-billed psychologists charge $0 out-of-pocket but limited availability and longer waits. Private health insurance extras cover $50-$120/session up to annual limits. After 10 Medicare-rebated sessions per year, you pay full fee.
