Areas of practice
What a psychologist does
Psychologists provide talking therapies for anxiety, depression, birth trauma, grief and the adjustment of becoming a parent. Perinatal psychologists work specifically with pregnancy, loss and the year after birth.
At any point, and there is no threshold you have to reach first. Perinatal anxiety and depression are common and treatable, and starting early usually means fewer sessions rather than more.
Referrals, fees and Medicare
A GP mental health treatment plan is needed for a Medicare rebate, though you can also book privately without one.
Under Better Access, a GP mental health treatment plan gives you a Medicare rebate for a set number of sessions each calendar year. Some psychologists bulk bill, most charge a gap. Public perinatal mental health services are free where they are available.
