It is your responsibility to check your coverage and eligibility with your private health fund and confirm if rebates apply to your psychological service. IPA will provide you with an itemised receipt that you may present to your health fund to access your rebate. Unfortunately, we are unable to let you know how much your private health will be able to cover as each the levels of insurance may vary from person to person and across insurers. You can contact your private health company to see how much they will cover for your sessions.
A referral from a GP or other professional is not required to access psychology services. You may self refer at any time.
We accept referrals from clients who wish to access Medicare rebates. If you wish to be referred to one of our psychologists through Medicare’s Better Access to Psychologists Scheme, you do require a written referral from your general practitioner, paediatrician or psychiatrist.
When appointments are booked, the psychologist reserves the whole hour especially for you. A late cancelled appointment is a loss to three people: The client who is delaying their therapy progress, another client who has been on the waiting list to see the psychologist urgently, and your psychologist who spent time preparing the session. Therefore, 48 hours notice is required and the following cancellation policy is in place to allow the allocated time to be offered to another person who may be on a waiting for an appointment.
A 50% fee will be charged for cancellation with less than 48 hours notice. The full fee will be charged for cancellation with less than 24 hours notice and for any appointment that has been missed with no notice (non-attendance).
