Medicare Rebates and Private Health Insurance

Medicare rebates are currently available through the Federal Government’s “Better Access to Mental Health” scheme whose funding is assessed and activated by your GP putting in place a Mental Health Plan for you and conducting reviews for additional sessions if required.
Note that for 2020 and 2021 the Federal Government has extended the amount of sessions that attract the Medicare Rebate to 20 per calendar year. This is because of the increased need in the community for mental health support due to Covid-19.
