For referrers
Please note I am not typically seeing clients for regular treatment at this time. My efforts are primarily focusing on preventative work through research and group training programs only.
A lot of my clients are referred from GPs and other professional practitioners. I have also supplied Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) to a number of organisations.
In 2006, the Australian Government announced an initiative that provides financial support for people who are affected by mental health issues. As a result of this initiative, rebates for clinical psychology services are available to patients who have been referred after November 1 2006 by a medical practitioner under a GP Mental Health Care Plan and/or a psychiatrist or paediatrician.
If the referral is not through Medicare, with the client's permission, I will provide you information on my assessment and any therapy undertaken via assessment, progress and discharge reports.
If you have any further questions or enquiries about the suitability of referring your patient or client, please contact me.
