Medicare

Since July 2006 the Federal government has instituted public health cover for people suffering from psychological difficulties and who require psychological assistance. The goal is to provide better access for the public to psychological services. People can now consult their GPs who may place them on Mental Health Care Plans (MHCP) which means people can claim Medicare rebates on up to ten sessions of psychological treatment.
