 Frequently Asked Questions

  • Psychology is the study of the human mind and behaviour. Psychologists have extensive training in human development, understanding the brain, and unpacking how an individual may think, experience emotions, behave and respond. Psychologists work via a scientific-practitioner model, which involves applying evidence-based research and therapeutic techniques that are reliable and valid. A range of psychological interventions are utilised to support children, adolescents and adults, both in individual therapeutic sessions and group sessions.

  • Consultations at Aspire Wellness Group occur for 50-60 minutes.

  • You do not need a referral to book a consultation. However, if you would like to claim rebated sessions via Medicare you will need a referral from your GP, paediatrician or psychiatrist to access a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP). Once you have access to a MHCP, Medicare provides 10 rebated sessions per calendar year.

  • Accessing a referral can be achieved by booking a consultation with your GP, paediatrician or psychiatrist to set up a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP). Typically, your doctor will provide a referral for six initial sessions. Following the sixth session your psychologist will address a MHCP review letter to your referring doctor, who will then initiate a further four sessions if required. Annually you can access 10 rebated sessions via Medicare.
