Is anxiety psychology available in Strathfield via telehealth?

Yes. The psychologist listed in this directory for Strathfield offers telehealth sessions, meaning you can attend via secure video call from home rather than travelling to the practice. Telehealth attracts the same Medicare rebate as in-person sessions under a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan. You can also see any telehealth-based psychologist in this directory regardless of where they are physically located.

How much does seeing an anxiety psychologist in Strathfield cost?

With a Medicare rebate under a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan, you receive $101.55 per session with a registered psychologist (MBS item 91170, effective 1 July 2026). The out-of-pocket gap depends on the individual practitioner's fee. A GP referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan are required to access the Medicare rebate.

Does the Strathfield anxiety psychologist accept NDIS or work-related injury referrals?

Yes. The practitioner listed for Strathfield accepts NDIS, SIRA (for work-related injury), and Medicare-funded sessions.

Do I need a GP referral to see an anxiety psychologist in Strathfield?
