Our approach
At Your Online Psychologist, we support a proactive approach to mental health care. We encourage clients to speak with their GP about creating a Mental Health Treatment Plan. This plan allows eligible individuals to access Medicare rebates for up to 10 telehealth psychology sessions each calendar year. While optional, having a Mental Health Plan can help reduce the out-of-pocket cost of your sessions.
Getting in touch is simple — you can call us directly or book an appointment online through our easy-to-use website. Just fill in your details to get started with one of our online psychologists. We value clear communication, which is why our services come with transparent terms and conditions.
At Your Online Psychologist, we understand that mental health is a journey — and we're here to support you at every stage. Take the first step toward a healthier, more balanced life with a trusted online psychologist in Australia.

The landscape of telehealth psychology in Australia has seen significant growth since the COVID-19 pandemic:

Professional Development: Psychologists have received increased training to provide effective telehealth services.

At 'Your Online Psychologist', we believe in the importance of taking care of your mental health. A Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) can provide you with access to Allied Health Services and support options. If you believe you may require support regarding your mental health, you can schedule an appointment with your GP to create a treatment plan aligned with your goals. With a MHCP, you can claim up to 10 sessions with one of our telehealth psychologists each year, with an initial referral for 6 sessions of ongoing treatment. If you require more sessions, your telehealth psychologist can request a Mental Health Care Plan review from your GP for an additional 4 sessions. This is an opportunity to access the care and support you need for your mental health. Our team of experienced online psychologists in Australia are here to help you every step of the way through our telehealth psychology services.
No, you do not need a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) to access our services. A MHCP is only required if you wish to claim a Medicare rebate for your sessions with an online psychologist in Australia. The only difference is that if you contact 'Your Online Psychologist' directly for an appointment with an online psychologist without an MHCP, we are not able to provide reports to the GP, and therefore you will need to pay the cost of the telehealth psychologist session in full with no Medicare rebate. However, if you have private health insurance, you will be able to claim part of the therapy fee. At Your Online Psychologist, our team offer telehealth psychology services for those seeking mental health support from the comfort of their own home, making it easy and convenient to access professional care.
Yes, all members of the Australian Medicare community with a valid Medicare card are eligible to claim Medicare rebates for mental health services.
