Jamie offers highly competitive fees for therapy sessions. Medicare rebates will cover $149.05 (and higher if you have reached your Medicare safety net) which goes back into your bank account following the sessions.

Jamie charges significantly less than the rate recommended by the Australian Psychological Society (APS).

For further details on current pricing structure or any other appointment questions, please contact our friendly administration team here.

Please note: we are not currently accepting bulk billing clients.

You can see Jamie and engage in therapy without a referral. In order to be able to access the Medicare rebate of $149.05 for up to 10 sessions each calendar year, you need to have a valid GP referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) from a GP. Alternatively, you can obtain a referral letter from a psychiatrist.

You need to schedule a longer appointment with your GP or let the reception team at your GP practice know you’d like to obtain a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP).

Your GP will ask you a series of questions about your thoughts and feelings, they may also ask you to complete a brief questionnaire. It is important to be open with your GP in this process.

Your GP can then create a MHTP and provide a GP referral letter. Your GP will provide these to you and you can send these directly to Jamie at jshulman.psychology@gmail.com, or you can request that your GP do this for you.

In order to be able to access the rebate, this has to occur before your initial appointment.

This will allow you to access the Medicare rebate of $149.05 to see Jamie as a clinical psychologist. You can then access up to a total of 10 sessions in a calendar year.

Your initial referral will be for up to 6 sessions. Following the initial 6 sessions, you’ll need to do a review with your GP and then if you and your GP agree, you can access the remaining 4 sessions. Your GP will then issue a second referral letter.

This also needs to be provided before your next appointment in order to access the Medicare rebate.

Please feel free to contact our team directly for clarification around Medicare rebates and referrals.

Yes you can. If you have health insurance that covers psychology/counselling as extras cover, you may be eligible for a rebate.

It is recommended that you contact your insurance provider prior to your appointment to determine what your individual coverage is.

Please note, you cannot claim a Medicare rebate and private health rebate simultaneously.
