Northside Health is very pleased to have the services of two psychologists and one psychotherapist.

Our psychologists are available for referrals under a Mental Health Care Plan allowing for Medicare rebates. If seen without this referral, you may be able to claim under your private health insurance extras cover. Our psychotherapist offers counselling services without a Mental Health Care Plan and his fees are the same as the out-of-pocket cost to see our psychologists.
