Private health funds

Our psychologists are registered to provide services for private health insurance rebates. Please check with your health fund if you are eligible.

Medicare Rebates

Intervention

You can access Medicare rebates for psychological intervention by obtaining a Mental Health Care Plan from a general practitioner, paediatrician, or psychiatrist.

A Mental Health Care Plan allows clients to claim Medicare rebates for up to 10 psychology appointments in a calendar year. After your first six sessions, you must see your doctor again for a review and another referral for the following four appointments. 

Clients under 25 years with autism or a complex neurodevelopmental disorder can be referred for additional support by a paediatrician, psychiatrist or GP for up to 20 intervention sessions in their lifetime.  

Clients of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent are also eligible for a further five appointments (in addition to the ten provided with a mental health care plan). This requires a referral from your GP.

Assessment

Clients under 25 years old can receive a Medicare rebate for a total of 8 autism assessment sessions. This requires a referral by a paediatrician, psychiatrist or GP.

National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

Asciak and Associates is currently not a registered NDIS provider. NDIS participants may still use our services, but their NDIS plans must be either self-managed or plan-managed. We cannot provide services to participants with an agency-managed NDIS plan.

Self-managed NDIS participants must pay at their appointment and claim reimbursement from the NDIS through the MyGov portal.

Plan-managed clients can provide us with their provider details, and we will invoice them directly for services. 

For information about funding management options, please get in touch with your NDIS contact or visit https://www.ndis.gov.au/participants/creating-your-plan/ways-manage-your-funding.
