BULK-BILLING

If you have a mental health plan and a referral letter from your GP, you may be eligible for bulk-billing*.

The following clients are bulk-billed at Grow Psychology: we keep a certain proportion of places for bulk-billing but these are capped to avoid financial stress for our practitioners - therefore there may be a wait time.

  • Those on Centrelink benefits
  • Those with a Pension Card
  • Those on a Disability Allowance
  • Clients referred by a domestic violence support agency (as victims of crime) who are not in work.

Family Law

Referrals from Family Law are billed at $190 per session.
