Australians: What Does The Lnp Government Mean For Therapy Access Under Medicare?

[fly away home]

Desperately hoping that there is more support for mental health. I am currently up to my 5th visit and counting them down. I discussed my concern about the funding ending with my psychologist and she said don't worry there are ways around it, not sure what she meant but its causing a lot of anxiety because as you have all said, ten sessions is just pissing in the ocean.

Because I came in late in the year, this year won't be a problem because it goes by calendar year but next year 10 sessions won't even cover once a month.

Perhaps that is what she meant by there are ways around it... just have to wait till next year. It really puts the pressure on each session don't you find?

I'm hoping what I'm learning will carry me through.

Yea, so far it has been rough but definitely helping. Learning about becoming aware and accepting are all very new concepts for me. Things which will stay.
