Funding and Rebates
NDIS
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides support to eligible people with intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive and psychosocial disability.
Brightseed Psychology is a non-registered provider. We work with:
- Self-Managed participants
- Plan-Managed participants
Please confirm with your plan manager that services can be claimed under your plan (typically Capacity Building: Improved Daily Living or Training categories).
Medicare
The Better Access to Mental Health Care Initiative allows eligible clients to claim a rebate for up to 10 individuals sessions per calendar year. Please discuss your eligibility with your medical practitioner.
You may be eligible to receive a Medicare rebate for your psychology sessions if referred by your General Practitioner (GP), Psychiatrist or Paediatrician.
- Requirement: A referral letter and mental health care plan (from a GP) or a referral letter (from a Psychiatrist/Paediatrician).
- Rebate: The current rebate for Registered Psychologists (as of 1 July 2025) is $98.95.
- Note: We do not bulk bill. You will be required to pay the full fee at the time of your session and claim the rebate afterward.
Please ensure you bring the referral to your first appointment.
You will be required to return to your referring doctor to review your progress after the first 6 psychological therapy sessions. At this time, your doctor will determine if a re-referral for an additional 4 sessions is required.
