Allocations are made according to request,“best fit” given our differences and varying backgrounds, and of course availability. Between us we have wide range of life experience, professional experience, cultural and international exposure, skills and training. There are occasions when we are unable to take new referrals. When this is the case, we will endeavour to assist you with other options or you may choose to be placed on a waiting list should that be appropriate or possible.
​
You may self-refer, however, a GP or psychiatrist referral is required should you wish to claim through a Medicare Mental Health Care Plan to enable Medicare rebates for sessions here. Some private health insurers require that you exhaust your Medicare sessions (currently a maximum of ten rebatable sessions per calendar year) before claiming sessions under your private health insurance. Please check should this be of relevance or concern for you. Payment for sessions can be made by cash, credit card (this incurs a surcharge) or direct bank transfer.
​
Consultation sessions are of approximately 50 minutes duration. Issues related to informed consent, record keeping and confidentiality will be discussed in your first appointment, as is the cancellation policy.
​
Should you find yourself in very urgent need of support or intervention, it is recommended that you make contact with your local hospital, Crisis Assessment and Treatment Team, Lifeline on 131114 or call for emergency assistance on 000. We are unable to provide an immediate crisis service.
