Referrals
Evolve Mindfulness Clinic is also available to accept patients who have already been commenced on a Mental Health Treatment Plan by their usual GP. We would appreciate your bringing your referral letter to the appointment. Your confidentiality is fundamental and we follow the strict ethics of the Australian Psychology Society. If you have private health insurance that covers psychology services, you do not require a referral from your treating medical practitioner. We accept referrals from Better Access to Mental Health Initiative, Work Cover, Private Health Insurance, and Compulsory Third Party Insurance.
Visits
All patients seen on a Mental Health Treatment Plan are entitled to a total of six visits per calendar year and then a further four treatment sessions following a review with your GP and treating psychologist. Accounts can be paid via cash, debit or credit card.
