In Canberra, the key difference is registration and training. Psychologists complete a minimum of six years of university education and must be registered with AHPRA (the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency). This means their sessions can be partially covered by Medicare when you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP. Counsellors generally hold qualifications accredited through PACFA or ACA, but they are not AHPRA-registered and their sessions are not eligible for Medicare rebates. Both types of practitioners provide effective therapy, and many Canberra clients choose based on the specific issue they're dealing with, the therapist's experience and whether Medicare access is a priority.
