What is a Clinical Psychologist?

Clinical psychologists complete an accredited Masters or Doctoral degree, with eight years of training and supervised practice to obtain their specialist title. Their training is recognised as developing specialised skills in assessing psychological / mental health issues and providing evidence-based treatments. Clinical Psychologists are regarded as having the highest levels of psychology training in Australia.

Do I need a referral?

You may access Clinical Psychology services without a referral, however, to claim a Medicare rebate for up to 10 sessions per year (see fees and rebates above), you will need a Mental Health Care/Treatment Plan and Referral from your GP or Psychiatrist.

Can I use Private Health Insurance?

You may be eligible for a rebate from your private health fund – this will usually be considerably less than the Medicare rebate and will depend on the type of benefits package you have with them. They usually do not require a GP referral but please check with your health fund for specific requirements and benefits.

What about DVA and NDIS funding schemes?

At this time, Rosemary Does not provide services through these schemes

Workers Compensation funding?

The insurance company must either refer you directly or provide written approval before your first session as they will be invoiced directly for each service. They will also require assessment and treatment reports, including current psychological status in relation to returning to work. They may also request full copies of your records, depending on what you signed in the original claim form. Please note you will be responsible for any cancellation fees – the insurer will not pay for them.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellations within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment will be charged for the session
