Warwick typically works business hours of 9am – 5pm on weekdays (AEST– Australian time for overseas clients), although there are times he opens up early evenings, mornings and weekend appointments to help with demand.

Please note that weekend appointments are not standard practice, and availability for weekday appointments is likely to be necessary.

You do not need a referral for a psychology consultation, but if you want to receive a Medicare rebate, you will need a referral from your GP through a Mental Health Care Plan. Otherwise, you can book an appointment and pay the full fee.

It is important to verify your coverage and eligibility with your private health fund to determine if rebates apply. 

Warwick’s qualification as a registered Clinical Psychologist activates the option for clients to access a Medicare rebate for sessions (Australian clients only). 

10 sessions of Medicare-rebated individual psychology sessions are available each calendar year. Medicare rebates are credited to your nominated bank account typically within 24-48 hours of consultation.

To ensure a smooth financial process, medicare rebates will be processed on the day of your session with Warwick. Don’t worry about the paperwork hassle, as the payment will be electronically sent to Medicare to expedite your rebate. To make this happen seamlessly, it’s important to have your bank details registered with Medicare.
