An MHCP is a support plan for someone who is going through mental health concerns and is obtained through your General Practitioner (GP). A standard MHCP provides you with 10 sessions in a calendar year. If on a mental health care plan, you will receive a Medicare rebate per session of $96.65 (psychologist) or $141.85 (clinical psychologist). If you have a Medicare card and a valid GP referral, we will process your Medicare claim for you within 24-48 hours from your session.

1. Book an appointment with your GP. Let them know in advance it’s for a MHCP. 2. During the appointment, your GP may ask questions about your mental health, family's history and symptoms. In order to access a MHCP, you must have an eligible Medicare card. Email us at bookings@mindfoodpsychology.com for more instructions on how to apply for a MHCP.
