How can a Resolve Clinical Psychologist help you?
Clinical Psychologists at Resolve have specialised training in the diagnosis and management of mental health conditions, and in the delivery of a range of research-based techniques and therapies aimed at treating mental health disorders.

We provide a range of psychological services to individuals across the lifespan and for mental health conditions that range from mild to complex.

Medicare Rebates
If you have been referred by a GP or Psychiatrist who has prepared a Mental Health Treatment Plan for your condition, you are eligible for a Medicare rebate of about $125.00. This is valid for up to ten sessions within a calendar year. This means that there is a gap payment of approximately $45.00, per fifty minute session, after the Medicare rebate. You must obtain the referral letter before the first therapy session and bring it with you to your first appointment.
Private Health Rebates
Rebates are also available for individuals with private health cover. Please contact your policy provider for specific rebate amounts, as they vary according to your level of cover. You cannot claim a private health fund rebate in addition to claiming a Medicare rebate for a session.
Cancellations
Our cancellation policy revolves around the fact that the scheduled appointment time is reserved for you only. If an appointment is missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice, you will be charged a $120 cancellation fee. These fees cannot be claimed through Medicare or private health cover.
