Your GP can refer you by completing a GP Mental Health Plan. This plan allows you to access 10 Medicare rebated sessions per calendar year. You DO NOT have to wait 12 months from the date of referral to be eligible for these services as you are entitled to 10 sessions of necessary treatment each calendar year.
If you have been injured at work (physically or emotionally) and are receiving Workers compensation wages, you may be finding day to day coping increasingly difficult. This is very common inside the WorkCover space as people often feel a loss of control. If this is happening to you, you can request your GP send you to Renew for adjustment to injury counseling via a referral and an adjustment to the medical certificate.
