A mental health treatment plan lets you claim up to 10 individual and 10 group sessions with a mental health professional each calendar year. To start with, your doctor or psychiatrist will refer you for up to 6 sessions at a time. If you need more, they can refer you for further sessions. Our psychology sessions have a rebate of $93.85 per session.

Please note: you cannot claim both a Medicare rebate and a private health fund rebate for the same session.
