You don’t need a referral to see us. A referral is only needed if you want to claim a Medicare rebate.
The GP referral letter tells Medicare how many sessions you can have.
A Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) is a plan your GP writes to support your mental health care. It outlines your needs, sets treatment goals, and gives you access to Medicare rebates for psychology and other eligible services.
You may be able to claim a Medicare rebate when you see a psychologist. To check if you’re eligible, speak with your GP about getting a Mental Health Care Plan.
A referral from a psychiatrist or paediatrician also allows you to access our services.
Please email your referral to us at info@corecp.com.au or bring to your appointment. You can receive up to 10 Medicare-rebated sessions each calendar year.
You may be able to receive a rebate from your Private Health Fund if you are covered for psychological or counselling services. The amount will vary depending on your specific fund and insurance coverage. We can’t say for sure how much you’ll get, so it’s best to check with your fund directly.
Keep in mind that it’s not possible to receive a rebate from both Medicare and your private health fund for the same session.
We kindly ask for at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. If notice isn’t given within this time, a fee for the missed appointment will apply.
Please note: Rebates only apply to attended sessions. Medicare doesn’t cover cancellation fees. You will be liable for the full cancellation fee.
Your Information Matters
The personal information is securely stored and only accessed by our authorised team members to contact you and support your care. Only your psychologist can access your session notes.
When We Might Need to Share
Everything you talk about is kept strictly confidential. However, there are times when your psychologist may need to share information, such as:
- When required by law (e.g. a court order).
- If there’s a serious concern for your safety or someone else’s.
- If you’ve given permission to speak with another person (like your lawyer or a family member).
- When it’s part of your care and would be expected (e.g. updating your GP).
- When a child is at risk, our psychologists have a responsibility to report to the Department of Communities.
