Current rebates per session
Psychology rates apply from 1 July 2026. Dietitian rebate is per eligible session of 20 minutes or longer. Medicare indexes these rates annually on 1 July.
Psychology rebates
For both plans below, the current rebate is $149.05 with a Clinical Psychologist and $101.55 with a Registered Psychologist.
Mental Health Care Plans (MHCP)
A valid MHCP referral from your GP or psychiatrist gives you access to up to 10 Medicare-rebated psychology sessions per calendar year. MHCPs are designed to help people experiencing mental health difficulties access the support of a Registered Psychologist or Clinical Psychologist. If you think you’d benefit from psychological support, book an appointment with your GP to discuss whether an MHCP is right for you.
Medicare does not provide a rebate for relationship counselling or couples therapy under an MHCP, as the rebate is for the treatment of mental health conditions. If you’re attending for couples counselling, the consultation fee is payable in full. If you hold private health cover, you may be able to claim a rebate through your fund — please check with them directly.
Eating Disorder Plans (EDP)
An Eating Disorder Plan (also referred to as an Eating Disorder Management Plan) also gives access to Medicare-rebated sessions. Like the MHCP, your GP or psychiatrist prepares it. Under an EDP you can access up to 40 Medicare-rebated psychology sessions and up to 20 dietitian sessions within a 12-month period.
A GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP) — the plan that replaced the Chronic Disease Management Plan / EPC from 1 July 2025 — allows up to 5 allied health visits each calendar year and can include psychology.
Dietitian rebates
Rebates on dietitian sessions are available under an Eating Disorder Plan (EDP) or a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP). For both, the current rebate is $63.40 per eligible session of 20 minutes or longer.
GP Chronic Condition Management Plan (GPCCMP)
A GPCCMP — the plan that replaced the Chronic Disease Management Plan (formerly the Enhanced Primary Care, or EPC, plan) from 1 July 2025 — gives access to up to 5 Medicare-rebated allied health sessions per calendar year, each a minimum of 20 minutes. Your GP allocates how many of those 5 sessions go toward dietitian treatment, as the 5 sessions are shared across all allied health providers (such as psychologists) — 5 in total per calendar year.
Since July 2025, you no longer need a full “team care” arrangement to access these services — a current plan and a referral letter from your GP is enough.
