What training and experience do your clinicians have?
Psychologists
All our Psychologists are trained in post graduate level of Psychology, with extensive experience in public and private mental health settings. Psychologists are a regulated and legislated profession under the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency. Each of our Psychologists have their individual areas of interests, and you can see this on our practitioners page.
Mental Health Occupational Therapist
Our in-house Mental Health Occupational Therapist is Sheraan, BAppSc (Occ Therapy) who specialises in working with persons where mental health difficulties impact on their ability to perform in their everyday function. Sheraan has 20 years of experience working at a tertiary level. She has worked in community, inpatient, forensic and residential mental health settings with both children and adults.
Dietitian
Jessica Tilbrook (BNutDiet) is an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD). Jess has completed a Bachelor in Nutrition and Dietetics with Flinders University, and has since gone on to train in disordered eating, intuitive eating and mindfulness. Since graduating she has worked in the acute, sub-acute and private sectors, including aged care, rehab and mental health specialties. Most significantly, she has spent three years managing Dietetic services across QLD, NSW and ACT for a large non-for profit.
Will my sessions be covered by Medicare or Insurance?
It is possible to have 10 sessions per calendar year covered by Medicare, if your GP has issued you with a Medicare mental health care plan. Currently the rebate for a single session under the Medicare plan ranges from $87.45 to $128.50. You will need to speak to your GP about qualifying for this plan and bring it along to your first session. Some private health insurance covers Psychology sessions and it is best to check with your provider.
