Mental Health Treatment Plans (MHTP)

Mental Health Treatment Plans (MHTP)

What is a Mental Health Treatment Plan, and do I need one?

A Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) is a written plan by your GP to diagnose your mental health condition(s) and to provide guidance to the psychologist you see. You do not need a MHTP to see your psychologist/therapist if you are happy to see them privately (paying out of pocket) or if you have a third party payment plan such as NDIS, Workcover, CTP, etc. Currently, Medicare only rebates sessions with a psychologist and a clinical social worker. 

Here at Perissos Psychology, our session fees differ per practitioner. For a full breakdown of the fee structure, click here. If you have a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan (a referral from your GP), you will be eligible for a Medicare rebate of $96.65 per session with a psychologist. 

To obtain a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan, please book in with your regular GP for a double session/longer session, as most GPs cannot complete a MHTP in a standard consultation.
