  • What is a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP)
    An MHCP is a support plan for someone who is going through mental health concerns and is obtained through your General Practitioner (GP). A standard MHCP provides you with 10 sessions in a calendar year. If on a mental health care plan, you will receive a Medicare rebate per session of $96.65 (general psychologist) or $141.85 (clinical psychologist). If you have a Medicare card and a valid GP referral, we will process your Medicare claim for you within 24-48 hours from your session.
  • How to get a Mental Health Care Plan?
    1. Book an appointment with your GP. Let them know in advance it’s for a MHCP. 2. During the appointment, your GP may ask questions about your mental health, family's history and symptoms. In order to access a MHCP, you must have an eligible Medicare card. Email us at bookings@mindfoodpsychology.com for more instructions on how to apply for a MHCP.
  • Can you assess for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?
    The ADHD assessment does not include a cognitive assessment (IQ test) and does not assess ASD. However concerns around ASD can be explored in session and avenues for further exploration can be recommended.
  • Can you prescribe medication?
    No. Psychologists in Australia cannot prescribe medication. Psychologists can provide a referral to see a psychiatrist along with a copy of your ADHD assessment report to assist with the appointment.
  • Do I need a referral from my doctor to book in the ADHD assessment?
    No. A referral from your GP is not required. Please note: you will not receive rebates from Medicare for private appointments.
  • Does this assessment cover Autism (ASD)?
    No, this ADHD assessment does not include an autism (ASD) evaluation. However, we can explore any ASD-related concerns during sessions and provide guidance on further assessment options.
  • Can I get ADHD medication through this assessment?
    Only psychiatrists in Australia can prescribe ADHD medication. If needed, we can provide a referral to a psychiatrist, along with your assessment report.
  • Do you offer cognitive (IQ) testing?
    No, our ADHD assessment does not include cognitive testing. If required for work or study adjustments, we can refer you to an appropriate provider.
