. You can access a rebate per session if you attend your session under a Medicare mental health care plan, that can be obtained from your GP or psychiatrist. At each session, you will need to pay the full session fee upfront. We will then submit a claim to Medicare on your behalf. Following this, Medicare will transfer your rebate directly to your nominated Medicare bank account. Please note that this rebate only applies if you are attending your session while you are physically in Australia. Medicare card holders are currently entitled to 10 sessions of Medicare-subsidised Clinical Psychology sessions per calendar year.
