faqs
-
Please provide at least 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. A 50% fee applies for late cancellations; the full fee is charged for missed appointments. These are not rebated by Medicare, DVA, or private health funds.
-
Mary does not provide court reports. Please instead seek out a psychologist who specialises in court issues and providing medicolegal reports.
-
Mary is a registered Medicare provider. Medicare provides the above rebate per session for clients who are referred by their GP or a psychiatrist for treatment of a mental health disorder under the Australian Government's Better Access to Mental Health Care initiative. Your GP will need to prepare a Mental Health Treatment Plan before referring you to a psychologist for treatment.
Under the Mental Health Treatment Plan you can receive up to 10 individual sessions in a calendar year.
Please note that referrals cannot be provided by your GP for the full 10 sessions. A first GP referral is for a maximum of six sessions. Your referring GP will then assess your progress after the six sessions and refer for a further four sessions if needed.
-
Private clients (self referral) may be eligible for rebates for psychological services under a private health fund, so if planning to claim under private health please discuss this with your provider in advance.
Please be aware that private health insurance can not be used to cover the remainder (gap) from their Medicare rebated session. Thus, should you have access to both, you will need to decide in advance whether you wish to use Medicare or Private Health Insurance to cover part of the fee.
