 A vocational assessment involves about three visits to the office and the time spent may vary from client to client so you will need to enquire directly to Donna Riseley to find out what this may cost. You can do this via an email or by a direct phone enquiry but do ask to speak directly to Donna While she may not be able to take your call immediately as she may be consulting, Donna will call you back as soon as possible. Vocational assessments also cannot be claimed from Medicare or your private Health Fund

Yes if you are expecting to claim from Medicare you will need to make sure that you have a referal which is called a Mental health Care Plan from your G.P.  Sometimes, the doctor will give this to you to bring with you to the appointment.  Sometimes, the doctor will forward this to this office separately  If you are going to claim from your private health fund you do not need a referal but you may have a letter from the doctor which is helpful to bring, but it is not essential in this case.

If you are coming in for career counselling or for a vocational assessment you do not need a referral, although if you have one this can be useful, but it is not essential

Please note that you cannot claim career counselling or a vocational assessment from Medicare or from your Private health fund.

If you are at all unsure about all of this, please do not hesitate to contact Donna Riseley directly via email or the phone.

Yes , all clinicial psychology services can be, provided you have the appropriate extras cover.  It is always sensible to check with your own fund to find out if you are covered and, as each fund rebates a different amount, how much your rebate will be.

Please note, however, career counselling and vocational assessments cannot be claimed on Private health funds.
