If you meet criteria your GP will complete a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) under the Better Access Initiative. You can currently access up to ten Psychology sessions in one calendar year. 

A report is required to be completed and provided to your GP at session six and ten. 

In order to claim the Medicare rebate for your sessions you will need to bring a copy of your MHCP or doctors referral to your first appointment. If you are unable to provide your referral, you will be required to pay the full fee for the session.
