• 10 sessions of group therapy sessions per calendar year

​

Government Information on Mental Health Treatment Plans can be found here

You can contact Jonathan directly to access therapy. You do not require a GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician to refer in order to access therapy. You are welcome to self-refer if you would rather not be referred by a GP,  psychiatrist or paediatrician , or are not eligible for a Mental Health Treatment Plan.

​

Please note you will not be eligible to claim a Medicare rebate if you choose this option. You can change your mind later and go back to your GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician for a Mental Health Care Plan if eligible, however rebates cannot be provided for past sessions dated before the plan has been created. 

Referrals to Jonathan can me made by other Mental Health Clinicians or Health Professionals.

If you are interested in referring clients and would like to touch base, please feel free to contact Jonathan.
