You will need a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) from your GP if you wish to claim back a Medicare rebate on your psychology sessions and appointments with a mental health social worker. Please provide a copy of your MHTP prior to your first appointment. You can also book sessions privately without a referral or MHTP. Some private health funds do cover psychology sessions, but this will depend on your individual cover.
NDIS self-managed and plan-managed participants can use their funding at Strive Hive for some services. In the case our fees are higher than the NDIS Price Limits, the gap-fee will be charged to you directly.
