If you would like to see a Psychologist for therapy using Medicare rebates through the Better Access scheme you will need to obtain a referral from your GP, known as a Mental Health Treatment Plan. You can request a referral be directed specifically to the Psychologist you wish to work with at OakMind.
If you would like a referral or to discuss your concerns prior to contacting us for assessments you can first have an appointment with a GP, Paediatrician or Psychiatrist.

Your first session with us will involve the Psychologist getting to know you and getting an understanding of your background and what has prompted you to reach out.
The amount and frequency of sessions can be discussed and it is important that you feel comfortable with the support you are receiving.
Your Psychologist may use a variety of different treatment approaches depending on your needs and may include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy.
Not every Psychologist will be the right fit for you! It is important that you feel comfortable with your Psychologist and we can provide suggestions for other clinics if you no longer feel OakMind is the best fit for you!

The assessment process varies depending on what you or your child needs. It begins with an intake session to get an background understanding. We will then administer any in-person assessments or online questionnaires that may be required. After all assessments have been completed, we write a comprehensive report and then discuss the findings of the report with you in a feedback session.
As part of the assessment process, we may need to do additional assessments or measures to rule out other conditions. We also may need to seek input from educators, complete an observation in the school environment or discuss with other professionals involved in your or your child’s care.
