This entitles you to a rebate of $145.25 per session (2026), for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.
To process your rebate, a copy of your referral letter and MHCP from your GP is required. You can request that your GP send this directly, you can email it, or you are welcome to bring it with you on the day of your first appointment.You may be eligible for Medicare rebates if you have a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, psychiatrist, or paediatrician.
