- Your GP can provide a referral to a psychologist via the MHCP
- Medicare rebates may be be claimed for up to 10 individual sessions per calendar year.
- Therapy sessions in some circumstances can continue when the client or psychologist is out of Australia, however Medicare does not provide a rebate in these circumstances.
