If you are concerned about your child’s development and learning, a psychologist may be able to help. Psychologists are highly trained and qualified professionals, skilled in diagnosing and treating a range of developmental issues.
If your child is referred to a psychologist by your GP, you might be able to get a Medicare rebate. You may also be able to receive psychology services via telehealth so you don’t need to travel to see a psychologist. 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 service. Call 1800 333 497.
- ask your GP or another health professional to refer you.
