Telehealth psychology for Newcastle.
Newcastle is the hub of the Hunter, and people across the region already travel into it for services, which can mean a drive and a wait once you arrive. Online therapy takes the travel out of it. Whether you are in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland or the wider Hunter Valley, you book a time that suits you and meet your psychologist by secure video from home.
What we help Newcastle clients with.
Our registered psychologists support Newcastle clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress and burnout, grief and loss, relationships and interpersonal challenges, and life transitions, and we offer ADHD assessments for children aged 7 and over, teenagers and adults.

Funding for Newcastle clients.
Medicare rebates apply to online sessions just as they do in person, and Medicare is national, so Newcastle clients claim the same rebate as anyone else. With a GP referral and a mental health treatment plan, Medicare rebates $101.55 on an eligible session with a registered psychologist, so you are about $143.45 out of pocket on a $245 session. We also see NDIS self and plan-managed participants and private clients.
