With the MHCP, you can access the Medicare rebate of $141.85 per session (i.e. the out-of-pocket cost for a standard session becomes $128.15), for up to 10 individual sessions per calendar year.
Couples or family therapy are not eligible for Medicate rebates.

International students who have been referred by their GP under Mental Health Care Plan are usually eligible for the equivalent of Medicare refunds from their OSHC insurers. It is recommended that you ask your OSHC insurer for more details.
