FAQs

In Brisbane, the key difference lies in training and registration. Psychologists complete a minimum of six years of university study and must be registered with AHPRA (the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency), which qualifies their sessions for Medicare rebates when accessed through a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Counsellors typically hold qualifications accredited through PACFA or ACA and are not AHPRA-registered, meaning their sessions are generally not covered by Medicare. Both can deliver effective therapy, and many Brisbane clients opt for a counsellor when they want accessible, relationship-focused support without needing a GP referral first.
