In Preston, the key distinction comes down to training and registration. Psychologists complete at least six years of university study and must be registered with AHPRA (the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency), which allows them to provide Medicare-rebated sessions under a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Counsellors 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 Preston clients choose a counsellor when they want affordable, relationship-focused support without needing a GP referral first.
