Following this (either the same or different day) the assessment takes place. This includes a cognitive and academic assessment. These can take up to 3 hours in total depending on the client.

The Mental Health Care Plan enables clients to claim Medicare rebates for psychological sessions, allowing for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. To access these rebates, you'll need a referral from your GP specifying the number of sessions. Your Psychologist can request further sessions if required (up to 10 rebated sessions per calendar year).
Referrals remain valid for 12 months. Any sessions beyond this limit within the same year will be charged privately.

If you do not have a Mental Health Care Plan but have private health insurance you may be able to claim a portion of the fee back through your insurer. To understand if your policy covers Psychology services, please contact your insurer.
Unfortunately not. Some private health insurance may provide some funding and we advise you check with your insurer before hand.
For Autism assessments, if the referral for the assessment is made by a Paediatrician or a Psychiatrist, and the person being assessed is under the age of 25, they may be eligible to claim a rebate.
