If you have a GP referral for a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP), then you will be eligible for a Medicare rebate of $141.85 for sessions with Dr Youssef and $96.65 for sessions with all other psychologists, for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.

If you are referred through one of the pathways listed above, then we will discuss what your out of pocket expenses may be, if any.

If you have private health insurance, then you may be eligible for a portion of the fee to be redeemable. You will need to discuss this with your insurance provider.
