Referral process, fees & rebates

MindLink fees are in accordance with the recommended rates set by the Australian Psychological Society (current recommended fee is $260 per/h). Service fees vary across services.

We are here to help you, so please contact us and we can advise you on the referral process for your particular situation.

 

Referral Process

  • Self-referral

    You can refer yourself, a family member, or someone under your guardianship, directly for any of our services. It depends on the aim of the service, so please contact us so we can advise you: ‘enquire/book here’-button.

  • Referral by a GP or specialist

    You may also be referred for neuropsychological assessments and psychological therapy, by a medical Doctor such as your GP, Psychiatrist, Paediatrician or Neurologist.

  • Decision-making capacity assessments

    We do not accept self-referrals or family-referrals but will require a referral from a third party.

  • Autism assessment

    You will need a referral from a GP or Pediatrician.

  • NDIS

    • Self-managed NDIS participants can contact MindLink directly to organise and schedule psychological services.
    • For plan managed NDIS participants, their planner can typically organise and schedule psychological services.
    • For agency managed NDIS participants, the agency will typically organise and schedule psychological services.
Rebates
  • Unfortunately, there are no Medicare rebates for a neuropsychological assessment. The exception is an Autism assessment as this will attract a Medicare rebate of $87.45 per hour with a valid referral from a GP or a Paediatrician.
  • Medicare rebates are available with a valid mental health treatment plan for a neuropsychological consultation or neuropsychological intervention/treatment session and for psychological therapy. You need to have the treatment plan done before your first session and bring it with you in order to claim the Medicare rebate. Make sure you book a double appointment with your GP, Psychiatrist or Paediatrician, so they have enough time to do up the plan.
  • We advise to check with your private health insurance whether you are eligible for a rebate from them, esp. for Gottman Method for Couples Therapy as there are no Medicare rebates for couple therapy.
Fees

Our clinical services fees are listed below. The best fitting psychologist and recommended services will depend on the nature of the referral, complexity, and purpose. Service fees vary across services. Even with private health insurance or Medicare rebates, there will still be a gap payment for you.
