FAQs

In Adelaide, the main distinction comes down to 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). This registration means they can provide Medicare-rebated sessions under a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP. Counsellors, on the other hand, typically hold qualifications accredited through PACFA or ACA and are not AHPRA-registered, so their sessions are generally not covered by Medicare. Both can be highly effective, and many Adelaide clients choose a counsellor when they want affordable, relationship-focused support without needing a GP referral first.
