FAQs

If you're looking for a therapist in City, Canberra, it's useful to know the distinction. Psychologists complete at least six years of university study and are registered with AHPRA (the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency), which makes their sessions eligible for Medicare rebates under a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Counsellors typically hold qualifications recognised by PACFA or ACA but are not AHPRA-registered, meaning Medicare rebates do not apply. Both can provide high-quality therapy, and the right choice for you often depends on your specific needs, budget and whether you want to use Medicare to offset costs.
