How do I get a Medicare rebate for psychology?

You need a Mental Health Treatment Plan from a GP, which refers you for a set number of subsidised sessions per calendar year. You need to go back to the GP to have more sessions approved.

What is the difference between a psychologist and a counsellor?

Psychologists are registered with AHPRA and hold a minimum qualification plus supervised practice. Counselling is not a protected title and is not regulated, so qualifications vary widely.

Will the sessions be confidential?

Yes, with defined exceptions where there is risk of serious harm to you or another person, or where a court requires it. Your practitioner should explain the limits at the first session rather than leaving you to guess.

Can I choose the practitioner?

Yes, and you should. It is normal to change if the fit is not right, and a good practitioner will not take that personally.

About psychologists in Hobart

Hobart sits between the Derwent estuary and kunanyi / Mount Wellington, and the city runs from the heritage streets of Battery Point and North Hobart out through the northern suburbs and Glenorchy to the eastern shore and south toward the Huon. It is the state's largest centre but still a small city by mainland standards, so most services are within a short drive of the CBD. Winter brings frost in the Derwent Valley and snow on the mountain, and the weather changes fast enough that plans made on a Monday are often remade by Friday.
