The current Medicare rebate under the Better Access Scheme is $136.65 (with a mental health care plan you are currently eligible for 10 session per year).

This will provide an initial six sessions before Alyssa is required to provide a review to the referrer. This review will provide another four sessions.

​A referral letter and a mention of the MHCP, alternatively a copy attached
–
The client’s name, date of birth and address
–
The client’s diagnosis and a request for treatment
–
The number of sessions the client is being referred for
–
The GP’s provider number
–
The referral must be signed and dated.

Alyssa is happy to provide letters and documentation (such as attendance letters, communication with other treatment professionals) for no charge where the time required is less than 15 minutes.

Alyssa can provide longer reports (such as treatment reports for legal matters) upon request.

For documentation preparation requiring longer than 15 minutes, a $240/hour fee is charged in 15-minute increments. Reports require a 50% deposit of the estimated cost prior to being written, with payment in full before the report is provided to the client.

If Alyssa does not have adequate information to accurately compete the report, she may deem a session (at standard rates) is necessary for information gathering.
