How to make referals:
GP or Psychiatrist Referral
Please enclosed a cover letter that includes a brief description of your patient, and if relevant a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) if you are referring under Better Access. Please be advised that Medicare has returned the session limit back to 10 sessions per year.
Medicare’s Better Access Inititative Fact Sheet for Clients
Further information
Medicare makes it clear that their session limit is from 1 January to 31 December, thus on the 1st of January each year, the number of sessions a client has available resets. This can be confusing as a referral from a GP or Psychiatrist can last for up to 12 months. The important section here is “up to”. A GP/Psychiatrist can write a new referral after 12 weeks of the previous referral, where they deem it relevant and helpfull.
“In a calendar year, patients can receive psychological therapy and/or FPS services up to the limit of: 10 individual services & 10 group services.
A calendar year is from 1 January to 31 December. “

Self Referral
You can self refer by calling us above via Bassendean Total Health Care for Bassendean area clients, or coming to visit our friendly staff and requesting an appointment.
We highly recommend that if you are eligible for Better Access to gain a Medicare Rebates, that you see your doctor and ask for a referral on the above GP referral above. Without a GP referral and MHTP for Better Access, you can book, you just won’t be eligible to Medicare Rebates.
NDIS
If you have NDIS and are partially or fully self managed, we can bill NDIS on your behalf if your management plan and funding includes mental health therapy, social and or behaviour therapy.
TeleHealth
We support TeleHealth! We are happy to work with video and phone to help you connect with us. While TeleHealth isn’t generally as good as a Face-to-Face visit, it sure beats none at all.
Take a look at our TeleHealth page for TeleHealth tips.
To book a TeleHealth appointment, just let our friendly staff know, or book at pathfinderhealth.au and stated “Video” or “Phone” in the Comments section.
