Common questions about anxiety therapy in Surry Hills
Is anxiety psychology available in Surry Hills via telehealth?
Yes. Psychologists based in Surry Hills offer telehealth sessions, meaning you 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 their practice is physically located.
How much does seeing an anxiety psychologist in Surry Hills cost?
Psychologists in Surry Hills typically charge $200 to $280 per session. 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. Your GP can prepare this at a longer appointment; any GP can do it, not just one local to Surry Hills.
What inner Sydney suburbs close to Surry Hills have anxiety psychologists?
Surry Hills is in Sydney's inner city, close to Darlinghurst, Paddington, Redfern, Chippendale, and Newtown. The practitioners listed on this page are based in Surry Hills and serve residents of the surrounding inner-city area. Via telehealth, you can also see any psychologist in this directory from home anywhere across inner Sydney without needing to travel.
Do I need a GP referral to see an anxiety psychologist in Surry Hills?
A GP referral is not legally required to see a psychologist, but it is required to access the Medicare rebate. Your GP will assess you and, if appropriate, prepare a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) giving you access to up to 10 Medicare-rebatable sessions per calendar year. Without a referral you can still see a psychologist privately at the full fee. There are several GP practices in the Surry Hills and Darlinghurst area that can prepare an MHTP.
