FAQs

In Perth, the main difference comes down to training and registration. Psychologists complete a minimum of six years of university education and must be registered with AHPRA (the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency), which means they can 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 deliver excellent outcomes for Perth clients, and many people choose a counsellor when they want flexible, relationship-focused support without needing a GP referral first.
