Client Information

What to Expect?

Starting psychological therapy can feel unfamiliar, particularly if you haven't seen a psychologist before. We aim to make the process as clear and comfortable as possible from your first contact with us.

​

We've created a six-part video series to give you a clearer idea of what to expect when attending Positive Outcomes Psychology, from your initial appointment through to the treatment process. Watch the episodes below to learn more about what happens during therapy and how we work with you.

Referrals & rebates

You do not need a referral to see a psychologist at Positive Outcomes Psychology.

​

If you wish to claim a Medicare rebate, you will generally need a referral and a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP or an eligible medical practitioner. Eligible clients may be able to claim Medicare rebates for up to 10 individual mental health treatment sessions per calendar year, subject to the applicable Medicare requirements.

You may also be eligible for a rebate through Private Health Insurance, depending on your health fund and level of cover.

​

For more information about referrals, rebates or eligibility, please contact us directly or visit our FAQ's.
