Referrals and Funded Psychology Services
Inner Continuum Wellness welcomes referrals from GPs, psychiatrists and other medical specialists, as well as enquiries from individuals, employers and support coordinators. Psychological services may be accessed through:
Medicare Better Access — Eligible clients with a Mental Health Treatment Plan and a valid referral may claim rebates for up to 10 individual mental health treatment sessions per calendar year.
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) — Psychological support may be available where it relates to the participant’s disability, goals and funded supports. Please contact the practice to confirm whether your plan management arrangements can be accommodated.
Workers Compensation and WorkCover — Psychological support for eligible work-related injuries or conditions, subject to the relevant scheme’s referral requirements and insurer or claims agent approval.
Transport Accident Commission (TAC) and motor accident schemes — Psychological support for eligible accident-related injuries, subject to claim eligibility, referral requirements and any necessary approval.
Victims of Crime Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS) — Counselling and psychological support for eligible people affected by violent crime in Victoria, subject to FAS approval and applicable funding requirements.
Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) — Employer-funded counselling may be available by prior arrangement with the employer or EAP provider. Authorisation and the number of funded sessions must be confirmed before booking.
Private Health Insurance — Psychology rebates may be available under eligible extras policies. Please check your cover, provider eligibility, annual limits and rebate amount with your insurer. Medicare and private health insurance rebates cannot both be claimed for the same session.
Private Appointments — Self-referrals are welcome. No medical referral is needed for privately funded sessions.
You can bring your referral to your first appointment or email it to info@icwellness.com.au beforehand. Alternatively, you can ask your referring practitioner, support coordinator, insurer or relevant organisation to send it directly to the same email address. Please include any relevant funding or claim details so arrangements can be confirmed before your appointment.
