How soon can I see a Caloundra psychologist?
Minimal wait times are currently available. Timing varies by
practitioner, age group and appointment type. Call our friendly team
to check the next suitable appointment.
Do I need a referral to see a psychologist?
You can book privately without a referral. If you wish to claim
Medicare rebates, you need an eligible referral pathway and an
eligible practitioner. Our team can explain what to bring.
Can I get a Medicare rebate?
Eligible clients with a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral
may claim rebates for up to 10 individual sessions per calendar year
with an eligible mental health professional. Referral and review
requirements apply, and a gap fee may remain.
What are the fees for a Caloundra psychologist?
Our clinic fees start at $225, depending on the practitioner.
Please ask reception to confirm the fee for your chosen psychologist
and appointment type, and any Medicare rebate that may apply.
Do you offer bulk-billed psychology appointments?
At times, we have capacity for people who genuinely need bulk-billed
support. This is based on an assessment with our admin team and the
psychologist, and depends on current capacity and Medicare eligibility.
Please speak with reception about your circumstances.
Do you see children, teenagers and adults?
Our Caloundra team supports a range of ages, including children,
teens and adults. Each psychologist has different age preferences
and areas of practice, so we will confirm the right match.
For children, reception also explains consent requirements.
Can I use self-managed or plan-managed NDIS funding?
We may be able to support eligible self-managed and plan-managed
clients where psychology is an appropriate funded support.
Please contact our team to confirm your needs, plan arrangements
and service suitability.
Do you offer online psychology appointments?
Telehealth may be available with a suitable psychologist.
Ask reception about availability, whether online care suits your
needs and whether your session meets current Medicare requirements.
Can you help with assessments and reports?
Contact our team about psychological assessments, including ADHD,
autism and learning concerns. We will confirm the appropriate
practitioner, available assessment location, process, fees
and reporting options.
What does an integrative approach mean?
We consider your wellbeing in context, including your relationships,
daily life and existing healthcare. Psychological therapy remains
evidence-based. Where appropriate, we can collaborate with your GP
and other practitioners with your consent.
What should I bring and how can I pay?
Bring any referral or treatment plan, Medicare or relevant funding
details, and helpful previous reports. Ask reception about current
payment methods and policies when booking.
