Telehealth Psychology Services

Telehealth provides secure, online psychology sessions delivered via video conferencing or telephone, offering a convenient and accessible way to access therapy from your home or preferred location.

This option can be particularly helpful for individuals who are unable to attend in-person appointments, have busy schedules, experience mobility challenges, or live in rural or remote areas.

Research has shown that Telehealth psychology services can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy for a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, and emotional difficulties.

However, suitability for Telehealth is considered on an individual basis. Your psychologist can help you determine whether this format is appropriate for your needs.

Medicare & Telehealth Rebates

Telehealth psychology services are eligible for Medicare rebates where clinically appropriate, provided you have a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP.

This allows eligible clients to access psychology sessions via Telehealth under Medicare in the same way as in-person appointments.

If you are unsure about eligibility or how to obtain a referral, our team can guide you through the process.

Is Telehealth Right for You?

Telehealth may be a good option if you:

• Prefer the convenience of attending from home or work

• Live outside metropolitan Melbourne or in regional areas

• Have difficulty attending in-person appointments

• Are seeking flexible scheduling options

• Feel comfortable engaging in therapy via video or phone

In some cases, in-person sessions may be recommended depending on clinical needs, and your psychologist will discuss the most suitable option with you.
