	For many individuals, payment of the gap usually charged by treating professionals can be prohibitive. I provide a bulk-billing service for clients with Medicare referrals. With a referral from by an appropriate medical practitioner (GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician), you may access Medicare rebates available for psychological treatment under the Australian Government's Better Access to Mental Health Care initiative.

Service Notes

Service Quality Provision

In order to receive a Medicare rebate, the doctor must first make an assessment that you need the services of a psychologist. Eligible people can generally receive up to 12 individual services in a calendar year.

I can process your claim on the spot for an instant refund, which means you pay no gap and there is no need to visit a Medicare office.

I provide a range of assessments and treatment services to individuals and couples with a personal approach, which seeks to optimise treatment outcomes.

Experience

Orientation

I have worked as a Psychologist in community settings, in business in both the public and private sectors for over ten years. In these environments I have been allowed the privilege of working with an extensive range of people.

Prior to private practice, my background included psychological assessment, occupational rehabilitation, outplacement, community case management, insurance and disabilities.

By considering new perspectives, practicing techniques to help you to control worry and anxiety, and by exploring your character and emotions you can;

•Find better quality of life,
•Increase confidence,
•Improve your ability to make decisions,
•Gain better perspective on and improve the quality of your relationships,
•Increase your self awareness,
•Improve your resilience during times of stress, and;
•Develop a better understanding of your emotional responses to particular situations.
