 Information for General Practitioners/Medical Professionals
We are a team of psychologists who work holistically in a
trauma-informed way. We are evidenced-based and focus on growing strengths in
the children and families we support.
The Facts
·
- We see children
(3-12), teens (13-17) and their families.
- We offer
individual therapy sessions provided under a Mental Health Treatment Plan and we bulk-bill on presentation of
a government concession card (or for families in financial hardship).
- We are a full fee paying service, but offer Bulk Bill sessions with presentation of a Government concession card. The maximum gap payment is $40.00 and your Medicare rebate will be processed on the spot via HICAPS.
- We offer
phone-based support while clients wait for a first session, and to supplement
ongoing treatment
What we see people for (from DSM V, available online);

300.7, 312.39, 698.4, 294.8)

What we don't see:
- Adult individual or couples counselling
- Post-separation intervention where both parents would not want to engage
with the child’s intervention and/or there is high conflict occurring in the
parenting relationship
- Complex post-trauma intervention where there has not already been
adequate intervention by trauma-specific services (e.g VAN; Victims Services
counselling), as a ten-session model of care under Medicare is not an adequate
support for this
- Drug and alcohol counselling
- Eating disorder intervention
- Acute mental health or crisis intervention
- Where there is current indication of suicidality or where there is
current significant self-harm (referral to CAYMHS is more appropriate in these
instances)
