Seeing a Psychologist Without a Referral

How do private psychology appointments work?

You don’t always need a referral from a GP or other medical professional to see a psychologist at Amara Wellness & Psychology. Private psychology appointments are available at our North Perth practice, giving you the flexibility to access support when you need it, without needing a Mental Health Treatment Plan or other referral.


Accessing psychological support privately is simple. You can contact our team directly to arrange an appointment with one of our psychologists.

  1. Get in touch with our friendly team or book an appointment online.
  2. Meet with your psychologist and begin a therapeutic approach tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, stress, relationships, life changes, emotional wellbeing, personal growth, or other concerns, our psychologists are here to support you.


Private Psychology Appointments at Amara Wellness & Psycholo

Many people choose to see a psychologist privately because it allows them to access support without going through their GP first. You don’t need a Mental Health Treatment Plan or referral to make a private appointment with our team.


Private appointments also provide greater flexibility around the number and frequency of sessions you attend. You can continue accessing support for as long as it is helpful for you, without being limited by the number of Medicare-rebated sessions available through a Mental Health Treatment Plan.

What are other ways to access psychology support?

Private appointments are just one way to access psychological support. Depending on your circumstances, you may also be able to access support through other referral or funding pathways, including:


Mental Health Treatment Plans

Access eligible Medicare rebates for psychology appointments following an appointment with your GP.


Private Health Insurance

If your policy includes psychology or counselling under Extras cover, you may be able to claim a rebate for eligible appointments.


Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)

Access confidential psychological support through an Employee Assistance Program provided by your workplace.


WorkCover

If you have experienced a workplace injury, you may be eligible to access psychology support through your WorkCover claim.


And more!

There may be other referral and funding pathways available depending on your circumstances. Explore our referral options to find the pathway that may be right for you.


Private psychology appointments can also be used alongside these pathways, including when available funding or Medicare-rebated sessions have been exhausted and you would like to continue your psychological support.

Ready to take the next step?

We want accessing psychological support to feel as straightforward as possible. 


If you’re unsure whether you need a referral, what funding options may be available, or which pathway is right for you, our friendly team can help answer your questions. Get in touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at admin@amarawellnesspsychology.com.au if you cannot find an answer to your question.

A Mental Health Treatment Plan is arranged through a GP and may allow you to access Medicare rebates for eligible psychology sessions. A private psychology appointment does not require you to see your GP or obtain a Mental Health Treatment Plan before starting.


For some people, private appointments are preferred because they offer greater flexibility and allow them to begin psychological support without first obtaining a referral. Others may choose private appointments to continue their care after they have used their available Medicare-rebated sessions.


Your psychologist can work with you to determine an appropriate approach and frequency of appointments based on your individual needs.


Medicare rebates are not available for psychology appointments accessed privately without an eligible referral.

However, you may be able to claim a rebate through your private health insurance if psychology or counselling is included in your Extras cover. We recommend contacting your health fund before your appointment to check whether you are eligible and what benefits are available to you.
