Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding the costs of care is important in planning your wellness journey. At Introspect Psychology in Geelong, we strive to make our services accessible and transparent. Below, you’ll find information on session fees, payment options, and available rebates to help you get the support you need.

The easiest way is to ring our reception team on 52211169. Alternatively, you can use our ‘Contact Us’ page here on the website. 

While we receive referrals from a wide range of sources, it is not necessary to be referred by anyone. You can arrange to see us without a referral. 

However, if you would like to receive a Medicare rebate for your session then see your GP to arrange a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP). Your GP can then send the MHCP to us and we will contact you to arrange an appointment. With a MHCP, you are eligible to receive a Medicare rebate for up to 10 sessions in a calendar year. 

Some clients attend their first session and then meet with their GP to discuss a MHCP. It is important to note that only sessions that can be rebated are those that occur AFTER the date of the MHCP. 

An alternative is your private health fund. It’s worthwhile enquiring whether your policy covers you for psychology sessions and if so, what is the rebate per session. You do NOT require a referral or a MHCP from your GP for this. 

Sessions run for between 50 minutes to an hour.
