MEDICARE REBATES
Medicare rebates may apply with an appropriate referral from a GP. Please book a long consultation with a GP prior to the initial appointment at Headstart. The GP will establish if the client qualifies for a Mental Health Care Plan (Psychologist) or Enhanced Primary Care Plan (Psychologist/ Speech Pathologist/ OT) under the Government's Better Access to Mental Health Care Scheme. It is the GP's discretion whether these referrals are appropriate for each client. Please note some clients may not be eligible for certain referrals. Referrals from Paediatricians and Psychiatrists for children under 13, with a recognised diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, can also attract a Medicare rebate. Further information can be found on the Medicare Australia website www.medicareaustralia.gov.au
PRIVATE REBATES
A majority of Private Health Insurers provide a rebate for Psychological / Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy Services. It is the responsibility of the individual clients/carers/parents to contact the individual Private Health Provider to determine their rebates.
Please note: you are unable to claim a rebate from both Medicare AND Private Health, and can only choose one rebate pathway.
