Funding & Rebates

At GROW Clinical Psychology, we offer a range of Medicare-rebated, government-funded, and third-party funded psychology services to improve accessibility and affordability of care.

We support clients across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, and adults, through a variety of funding pathways.

Medicare & Mental Health Care Treatment Plans

Medicare rebates are available for psychological therapy under the Better Access to Mental Health Care scheme.

To access these rebates, you will need a referral from a GP, psychiatrist, or paediatrician. If referred by a GP, a Mental Health Treatment Plan must be completed prior to your first psychology session.

Eligible clients can access rebates for a range of clinically diagnosed mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and other recognised disorders.

This program provides access to subsidised psychological treatment to support improved mental health and wellbeing.

Autism & Early Intervention (Former HCWA)

Medicare rebates may also be available under government-funded early intervention programs for children with autism and developmental differences (previously known as Helping Children with Autism).

This pathway supports assessment and intervention services for eligible children referred by a paediatrician or psychiatrist, within defined age and session limits.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Services

Additional Medicare-funded psychology services are available for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients who have completed a GP health assessment and require follow-up allied health support.

This provides access to additional subsidised sessions each year to support holistic health and wellbeing.

Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA)

We also provide psychology services for clients funded through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA), supporting eligible veterans in accessing psychological care.

WorkCover & TAC

We provide psychology services for clients funded through WorkCover and TAC funded clients

NDIS-Funded Psychology Services

We provide psychological services for NDIS participants who are self-managed or plan-managed.

Our clinicians support individuals with psychosocial disability or neurodevelopmental differences to:

• Build daily living skills and independence

• Improve emotional regulation and wellbeing

• Increase participation in community, work, and study

• Strengthen confidence and functional capacity

We also support children and adolescents accessing psychology through NDIS funding arrangements.

Private Health Insurance

Psychological services may be partially covered through private health insurance extras cover, depending on your policy.

Please note:
Private health insurance rebates cannot be used in conjunction with Medicare rebates for the same session.
