All ages, including children, adolescents and adults, can be seen at Replenish Psychology.
To see a Registered Psychologist you don’t need a referral from a GP or psychiatrist however you will need a referral if you wish to claim Medicare rebates. Please see our Fees and Rebates section to learn more about fees.
If you would like to claim Medicare rebates, your Dr will need to make a named referral to Replenish Psychology via a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP). This allows you to access an initial 6 sessions. If needed, a further 4 sessions are available following GP review.
If you would like make a self-referral to Replenish Psychology, please be aware that the consultation fee of $180 will not be eligible for a Medicare rebate. However, as outlined in our Fees and Rebates section, depending on your coverage you may be eligible for Private Health Rebates.
We also welcome referrals from NDIS participants who are self-managed or plan-managed, and requiring Therapeutic Support- Psychology.
Feel free to contact us to discuss any referral.
If you would like to access Medicare rebates, please make a longer appointment with your GP to obtain a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP). There are generally some questionnaires to complete to confirm that it is required, then your GP can write a MHTP. You are able to ask the GP to refer you to the Psychologist of your choice.

Please take the opportunity at our first appointment to ask any questions and allow me to address any queries you may have about process or practicalities. During the first appointment we will also take some time to form our initial treatment plan together, making sure we discuss confidentiality and duty of care. If the first appointment is for a child or young person, I will consult with both you and your child in a sequence that is comfortable for you both.

In order for therapy to be as effective as possible, it is imperative that you feel that Replenish Psychology is the service that you, or your family, would like to move forward with- so this first appointment is also a chance to ensure we are the right fit for you.

If distance or travel time is a factor, we offer online consultations via telehealth online. There is no software needed, and prior to your appointment you will be emailed a secure unique link to connect you with your psychologist at the time of your appointment. This link will open in an internet browser and you can access it on a PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone. Please note- ensuring you have a private quiet area for the duration of your session, as well as stable internet, is vital to online consultations being as successful for you as possible.
