Question 1

How do I find a psychologist for anxiety in Australia?

Accepted Answer

Search Mental Health Directory by suburb to find verified psychologists and counsellors who specialise in anxiety and worry. Filter by Medicare rebates, bulk billing, or NDIS funding to find practitioners that match your needs.

Question 2

Can I get a Medicare rebate for anxiety treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, you can access up to 10 Medicare-subsidised sessions per year with a registered psychologist. Use the Medicare filter on Mental Health Directory to find eligible practitioners near you.

Question 3

What is the difference between a psychologist and counsellor for anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Psychologists are AHPRA-registered and can provide Medicare-rebated sessions. Counsellors are not AHPRA-registered but many are highly effective and often more affordable. Mental Health Directory lists both and clearly shows their credentials and funding options.
