FOR CLIENTS and families
Laura has current limited availability for new clients.
To make an appointment, contact me to discuss your situation. The first session involves a mental health assessment at the end of which recommendations can be made. For someone under the age of 18 who still lives at home, the first session would typically involve parents/guardians as well.
Appointments are available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Formal referrals are not required, however considerable rebates are available from Medicare with a referral from your GP or Psychiatrist.
Discuss the referral options with your GP. Most referrals will be part of a “Mental Health Care Plan” which enables rebates for up to 10 sessions per year.
Other Medicare schemes include an Enhanced Primary Care Plan (5 sessions) and an Eating Disorder Treatment Plan (20-40 sessions).
Speak to your GP about your eligibility. Some private healthcare funds also provide financial rebates.
Information about session fees and rebates are provided upon referral.
