You do not need a referral or Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP to make an appointment with our therapists.

If you hold Private Health Insurance, mental health care may be covered if you have an extras plan. It’s important to understand that every provider is different, so it’s best to pick up the phone (or jump online) to see if your service will cover some of the costs of seeing a mental health care professional. Please note, some of our therapists do not offer private health rebates, speak to our administrative team for specific guidance.  

Here are the steps you might want to take:   

1. Check with our reception to see whether or not your therapist has a provider number for your specific health insurance.

2. Call your Private Health Insurer (or jump onto your online portal) to check your level of cover and if mental health services are covered.   
   

3. Make sure you let your provider know about the qualifications of your mental health practitioner. Our Wellness Collective practitioners include Counsellors and Psychotherapists. Note: sometimes some or all of these professions may be covered under a “counselling” benefit. Item codes vary so you will need to be informed by your insurer.  
   

4. Find out how to make a claim. At the end of your session with Our Wellness Collective, you will be asked to pay for the service. We will provide you with a receipt* you may be asked to provide your provider when you make a claim.
