Referrals and Rebates

Medicare Referrals

To claim a Medicare rebate, you’ll need:

• A referral letter from your GP

• A Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP)

When booking in to see your GP, let them know you are seeking a Mental Health Care Plan, as this often requires a longer appointment.

If you do not wish to claim a Medicare rebate, a referral is not required.

Medicare Rebates

As of July 2025, clients with a valid referral and MHCP may be eligible for rebates for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.

• The current rebate for sessions with a Clinical Psychologist is $145.25, applicable to both in-person and Telehealth sessions.

• The out-of-pocket cost is therefore:

• $104.75 for business hours

• $124.75 for after-hours sessions

Private Health Insurance

You may be eligible for rebates through your private health insurance, depending on your policy. Please contact your provider directly to check your eligibility.

Solstice Psychology does not process private health claims on your behalf, but will provide a receipt and invoice for you to submit to your fund.

*Please note: clients cannot claim both Medicare and private health rebates for the same session.
