Frequently Asked Questions
What is a General Psychologist?
A General Psychologist is a health professional who is registered to provide services that assist a person presenting with difficulties relating to ill mental health.
​
A Psychologist is able to assess and provide therapeutic treatment for a range of presenting issues but is not able to provide medication nor make formal diagnoses.
All psychologists are registered with the national registration board, the Psychology Board of Australia, in the same way medical practitioners must be registered. This means that they must be competent and follow a strict Code of Ethics/Conduct.
​
On the other hand, a Psychiatrist is a trained medical doctor who can recommend and prescribe medication for mental health concerns. Psychiatrists and Clinical Psychologists are trained to provide formal diagnoses where needed.
How many sessions can I attend?

To access Medicare rebates a referral under a GP mental health care plan is required.
Do I need a referral?
