Medicare Mental Health Plan Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who is Eligible for a Mental Health Care Plan?

    If you’re experiencing mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, or any other psychological challenges, you may be eligible for an MHCP.


    A visit to your GP is the first step, where they will assess your mental health and determine if a plan is suitable for you.

  • How Do You Get a Mental Health Care Plan?

    To access a Mental Health Care Plan:

    1. Visit Your GP: Be prepared to discuss your mental health concerns in detail.
    2. Assessment: Your GP will assess your mental health and, if needed, create a care plan that outlines your mental health goals and support needs.
    3.  Referral: Your GP will refer you to a psychologist or other mental health professional who can provide the support you need under Medicare.
  • What Services are Covered by a Mental Health Care Plan?

    With a Mental Health Care Plan, you are eligible for rebates on psychological services provided by registered mental health professionals, including:

  • How Does the Medicare Rebate Work?
    1. Visit Your GP: Discuss your mental health concerns with your GP, who will assess whether a Mental Health Care Plan is appropriate for you.
    2. Receive a Referral: If eligible, your GP will create a care plan and refer you to a registered psychologist.
    3. Access Rebates: With your plan in place, you can claim $96.65 back per individual session, significantly reducing your out-of-pocket expenses.
  • How Long is a Mental Health Care Plan Valid For?

    Your Mental Health Care Plan provides access to up to 10 sessions per year, but after your initial 6 sessions, your psychologist will report back to your GP.

    Your doctor may then review your progress and, if necessary, refer you for additional sessions.

    This ensures that your care is continuously tailored to your evolving needs.

  • What Are the Benefits of a Mental Health Care Plan?
    • Affordability: Reduce the financial burden of accessing mental health care.
    • Access to Professional Support: Get assistance from registered psychologists and mental health professionals.
