COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral to see a psychologist?
No. Anyone can contact MPC directly. However, a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP entitles you to a Medicare rebate per session, which significantly reduces your out-of-pocket cost. We recommend getting one if you haven't already.
How much does a session cost?
Our fees are set below the APS recommended rates. With a Mental Health Care Plan, Medicare rebates apply. Rates vary according to the psychologist experience, availability of appointments and referral options. Contact us for current rates of available psychologists.
Can I choose my psychologist?
Yes. Browse our team profiles and let us know if you have a preference. We'll match you based on your needs, presentation, and goals and take your preference into account.
Do you offer telehealth?
Yes - telehealth (video) appointments are available for both new and existing clients. Let us know at enquiry if you'd prefer this.
Do you see children & adolescents?
Yes. Several MPC psychologists specialise in working children, adolescents, and families. Mention this when you get in touch.
