Self Referral
You can self refer, bypassing a doctor.
- Calling us 08 6507 6054 via Pathfinder Health
- Visiting our friendly staff and requesting an appointment
- Emailing us reception@pathfinderhealth.au
You don’t need a doctor to see us, but it is recommended.
A stable doctor is a good part of health, including mental.
A doctor gives you access to a MHTP (Mental Health Treatment Plan) and CCP (Chronic Care Plans) which can reduce the cost via a Medicare Rebate.
Currently we are aware that BUPA Health Insurance can be applied to therapy at Joshua Davidson Therapy. Some other private health insurance companies may also cover this (Social Work Mental Health Therapist), so it is important to check your policy first.
Medicare’s MHTP Rules
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 to a potential 10.
The new MHTP must be made 3+ months after the last one, so that can mean that if a further 4 sessions were made in October, the new MHTP can’t be made in the new year until February (3 months later), even though the calendar year starts at 1 January.
MHTP Examples:
The new MHTP does not have to be made 12 months after the first one – that is a common mistake that GPs can make. If the first MHTP is made in July, then the client can use up all 10 sessions before the end of year and still be valid for a new MHTP on 1 January the following year.
“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. “
Insurance
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.
- Generally, that is funding for “Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living“.
- If you do not having the above funding, let us know and we can set up a meeting to review your NDIS Plan and see if your needs and funding fit into something that we can deliver, or if we can support you in applying for a plan review.
Insurance Commission of WA
We are happy to work with the State Insurance Commission for Mental Health Therapy. Please let us know if you have a claim with them when you see us, so that we can ensure that the correct details are put in place.
Private Insurance
As of 2025, the following Private Insurance includes SW Therapy:
As Private Insurance can change there terms rapidly without consultation, and exclusion periods and other factors can affect your claim, please check with your provider to see if you are covered to see Accredited Social Workers.
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. We can do either phone or video versions of Telehealth.
Take a look at our TeleHealth Page for tips to make the most of your TeleHealth experience.
To book a TeleHealth appointment, just let our friendly staff know, or book at pathfinderhealth.au and state “Video” or “Phone” in the Comments section of your booking.
