How you can see us
With a Medicare referral
To claim a Medicare rebate for psychology sessions you need a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP.
Privately, without a referral
If you would rather not go through a GP, or you have used your rebated sessions for the year, you can book and pay privately. No referral or treatment plan is required.

Frequently asked questions
What can you help with?
Our clinicians work with a wide range of concerns, including friendship and relationship difficulties, anxiety, low mood and low self-worth. We cannot provide emergency care.
Who will my teenager actually see?
A psychologist registered with AHPRA, either chosen by you from the profiles provided, on request.
Can you do diagnostic reports?
No. We do not provide diagnostic reports, including assessments for ADHD or autism, or assessment reports for NDIS, court, Centrelink or insurance. We can provide update reports to your GP as required under a Mental Health Treatment Plan.
What is your cancellation policy?
You can cancel or reschedule free of charge up to 48 business hours before your appointment. With less than 48 hours' notice, or a missed appointment, the session fee applies.
