Telehealth psychology for Bendigo.
In regional centres like Bendigo, local psychology appointments can be limited and waitlists long, and the nearest available option can be a long drive away. Online psychology changes that. You get access to registered psychologists without leaving town, with more availability and the same Medicare rebate you would receive in person. Whether you are in Bendigo itself or the smaller towns of central Victoria, you book a time that suits you and meet your psychologist by secure video.

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