Appointments

Making Appointments

Appointments can be made during Office hours by contact our staff on 0410577109. Alternatively, you may email us on appointment@choose2change.com.au and one of our Psychologists will contact you.
You do not need a doctor’s referral to see a Psychologist or to claim a fee rebate from your private health fund.

Medicare Rebates

Medicare offers rebates for Australian citizens who visit their Psychologist. You do need however to first visit your General Practitioner (GP) and explain your mental health concerns and obtain a referral. It is polite to book a longer consultation with your GP so that they have adequate time to develop a care plan with you. Your GP will give you a referral called a “Mental Health Care Plan”, along with a letter of referral, which entitles you to Medicare Rebates. All you need to do is bring these two documents to your first consultation at Choose 2 Change and our friendly staff will organise the rest. You are entitled up to 10 sessions in a calendar year (January to December).

Private Health Fund Rebates

A substantial proportion of your consultation fee may be reclaimed through private health funds. Our Psychologists are registered with all major health insurers. If you would like to know the amount of rebate prior to your first session you will need to contact your health fund.

If you would like one of these appointments please discuss their availability when making your appointment. We will endeavour to help where ever possible.
