Medicare and referrals
How a GP referral and Medicare rebate work
- You don’t need a referral to see us. You can book a psychology appointment directly.
- For a Medicare rebate, see your GP first. Ask for a referral and mental health treatment plan. A psychiatrist or paediatrician can also provide one. You need it before your first session to claim a rebate.
- Get the plan to us. Your referrer can email it to hello@surfcoastfamilyhub.com.au or fax it to 03 8669 4442, or you can bring it to your first appointment.
- In person or telehealth. Both are eligible for Medicare rebates with a referral.
*Medicare rebates are available to people with a referral and mental health care plan from a GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician. Rebates are also available for people with appropriate private health insurance cover.
