If bullying is affecting your day-to-day life or your child's, a psychologist may be able to help. Talk to your child’s teacher or school psychologist if the issue involves another student at school.
Psychologists are highly trained and qualified professionals, skilled in diagnosing and treating a range of mental health concerns, including the impacts of bullying.
If you are referred to a psychologist by your GP, you might be eligible for a Medicare rebate. Ask your psychologist or GP for details.
There are number of ways to access a psychologist. You can:
- use the Australia-wide Find A Psychologist directory or call 1800 333 497
- ask your GP or another health professional to refer you.
