Question 1

I'd like some infomation about Telehealth consults.

Accepted Answer

What is telehealth?

Telehealth sessions are similar to face-to-face sessions, with the only difference being that they are either via a video (eg. Zoom) or voice call.

Why would I want a telehealth consult?

There are several reasons why people might preffer Telehealth consults over face-to-face consults.

Clients find Telehealth to be a convenient way to do therapy. They enjoy the convenience of therapy in their own home, and without the travel time.
 
Other clients appreciate that they can still obtain access to a quality mental health service, regardless of where they are in Australia.
 
Telehealth also allows clients who are concerned about their health to reduce their risk of exposure to COVID-19.

How does it work?

Your will need a computer or a smartphone to access a Telehealth appointment. 
 
After booking your appointment, you will receive an email with your scheduled appointment time and a link to access the appointment. 
 
When your appointment time arrives, simply click on the link and a program will open. Follow the prompts and your session will begin. Your psychologist should appear in your browser window, like a normal video call. They will introduce themselves and begin the session.

Question 2

How long are the sessions?

Accepted Answer

Each session lasts 50 minutes, which allows your psychologist 10 minutes of time to write up appropriate notes before the next session begins.

Question 3

Will I get a rebate from the Government?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you obtain a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP before you come in, you will get a approximately $100 back from Medicare.

This means that the government will cover ~$100 of your consult. You are eligible for 10 subsidised sessions in one calendar year.
