Accredited Mental Health Social Workers registered with Medicare Australia are able to provide Medicare relatable Focused Psychological Strategies to eligible patients under the Better Access Initiative.

There is no specific referral form. A letter that is signed and dated by the GP along with the completed Mental Health Care Plan is all that is required.

Each patient is allowed up to 10 rebatable individual sessions of psychological therapy every calendar year.

After 6 sessions, I will provide a brief update to the GP. The patient must attend the GP for a review in order to access the other 4 rebatable sessions.
