Appointments
Please get in touch via email at info@psychologistsa.com.au if you would like to book an appointment.
Linnette is able to take on patients at the moment, and consults at West Lakes on Monday afternoons, Tuesdays full days and Friday full days. Appointments are available between the hours of 9.30am to 5.15pm.
Rae is moving to FNQ at the start of June and will be providing therapeutic interventions for patients in SA via phone or video from then Monday to Friday between the hours of 9am to 6pm SA time.
If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your doctor, psychiatrist or paediatrician you will be eligible for medicare rebates toward up to 10 sessions per calendar year.
If you have NDIS or DVA funding for psychological treatment we can charge the relevant places directly and the fee will be at the rate stipulated by these organisations.
Your private health insurance may also cover some of the fees, and if it is included we can process a claim at the time of payment so that you only pay the gap fee or a receipt will be provided so you can make a claim with your private health provider.
And patients are also welcome to pay the fee privately if they prefer.
