Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see someone about my depression?
Not for psychology. A GP referral is only required if you’re booking with a psychiatrist or wish to claim a Medicare rebate.
How soon can I be seen?
Appointment availability in Elyséa HEALTH clinic varies by clinician, though GP and psychology bookings are generally available sooner than psychiatry.
Is depression treatment covered by Medicare?
Eligible patients with a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan can access rebates for psychology sessions.
Can depression improve without medication?
Yes. Many patients see meaningful improvement through psychology alone; medication is introduced only where clinically appropriate.
