What are the rebate rates from Medicare?
Each calendar year (1st of January to 31st of December), you may be eligible for 10 sessions under the Medicare Better Access Scheme. At the moment, the Medicare rebate is set at $141.85 for a session with a Clinical Psychologist. In some cases, clients may be able to claim a slightly higher rebate for community-based sessions (i.e. $165.95).
If you intend to claim from Medicare, please advise us at the time of booking and bring the referral letter from your GP, Psychiatrist, or Paediatrician to your initial session.
Note that Medicare requires the Psychologist to report back to your referring doctor throughout the intervention and provide an update on progress. This is a legal requirement that must be adhered to in order to provide a Medicare service.

Do you provide therapy services under the NDIS?
Yes! Blue Jay Psychology is an unregistered NDIS provider. This means that NDIS participants whose plan is self-managed or plan managed can access our service (usually with no gap fees payable by the client provided there is sufficient funding available in the plan). Unregistered providers are still bound by the NDIS Code of Conduct and our team have completed appropriate training in relation to NDIS Worker orientation and the NDIS practice standards. Our team also hold current NDIS worker screening checks. Note that this practice does not provide Improved Relationships funded services.
