Can I claim psychology services on my private health fund?

Yes , 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.

Can I claim psychology services on Medicare?

Starting on November 1 2006,  there will be available some funding from Medicare for very specific purposes.  

Psychology services under Medicare can be provided to people with "an assessed mental disorder" that is being managed by a GP under a GP Mental Health Care Plan or a psychiatrist assessment and management plan, or on direct referral from a psychiatrist or a paediatrician (for treatment of a child)
 
Psychology services under Medicare are limited to a maximum of 12 individual sessions per client per calendar year, with a review to the referring doctor required after the initial six sessions. Clients will also be eligible for up to 12 group session services, where appropriate, in a calendar year.
 
Again this service is not yet operational. It is hoped that it will be avaiable from the 1st November 2006
