Referrals & Funding Options
Accessing support can sometimes feel confusing — this is a simple overview of the available pathways.
Accessing support
There are a few different ways to access sessions at Third Space Studio. You’re welcome to choose the option that best fits your circumstances.
Medicare (Mental Health Care Plan)
If you have a referral from your GP under a Mental Health Care Plan, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate for a number of sessions each calendar year.
As an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, these rebates can be applied to counselling sessions.
If you’re unsure how to access this, your GP can guide you through the process.
Private (self-funded)
Many people choose to access therapy privately.
Sessions are 50 minutes and can be held in-person or via telehealth.
This option offers flexibility and does not require a referral.
Standard counselling sessions are 50 minutes — $195.
Private Health Insurance
Depending on your level of cover, you may be able to claim a rebate through your private health fund.
It’s recommended that you check directly with your provider regarding eligibility and rebate amounts.
Please note: Medicare and private health rebates cannot be claimed for the same session.
Victim Assist Queensland
Support is also available for individuals eligible through Victim Assist Queensland.
This program can provide funding for counselling for people impacted by violent crime.
If this pathway may be relevant for you, you’re welcome to reach out to discuss how this process works.
