Online therapy fits around that life, with no drive and more availability. Whether you are in Pakenham, Officer, Beaconsfield or the surrounding Cardinia towns, you book a time that suits you and meet your psychologist by secure video from home.

Funding for Pakenham clients.
Medicare rebates apply to online sessions just as they do in person, and Medicare is national, so Pakenham 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.
