Can Baw Baw residents keep up a weekly program?

Yes. At about 23 minutes and 14 kilometres via Range Road, a weekly or fortnightly appointment is genuinely manageable, which matters for conditions that respond best to consistent sessions over time.

What funding is available for Baw Baw clients?

Medicare (with a GP Mental Health Care Plan), private, WorkCover, and DVA all apply. We'll confirm which suits your situation before the first appointment, so there are no surprises about cost.

How do I get a Medicare rebate for psychology?

Your GP writes a Mental Health Treatment Plan, which covers up to ten rebated sessions a calendar year. Bring it to your first appointment and we bill Medicare directly where possible. You can also see a psychologist privately without a plan, or through NDIS, WorkCover, CTP, or DVA.

Is what I say confidential?

Yes. There are legal exceptions — risk to life, a court subpoena, and child-safety concerns — and the psychologist talks these through at the first session. Any contact with your GP, the person who referred you, or a family member needs your written consent.

Local care

Psychology for Baw Baw residents.

Small-farm owners and acreage families around Baw Baw are only about 23 minutes from Goulburn via Range Road, a 14-kilometre trip that makes a genuine weekly program possible rather than aspirational. That closeness counts for a lot when anxiety, low mood, or stress needs consistent, ongoing sessions rather than a single one-off appointment squeezed in around everything else.

With a population of around 270 spread across small farms and lifestyle blocks, Baw Baw residents juggle property work, off-farm jobs, and family life in a way that can wear people down without them noticing until burnout sets in. Our AHPRA-registered psychologists work with anxiety, stress, and low mood using CBT, ACT, EMDR, and schema therapy, and we're happy to set up a standing weekly or fortnightly time. Medicare, private, WorkCover, and DVA funding are all available.

What we treat

What Baw Baw patients see us for.

Psychologists work with the mind — anxiety, low mood, trauma, grief, and the patterns that keep showing up. Ours are AHPRA-registered and trained in proven therapies like CBT, ACT, EMDR, and schema therapy, and they're the right people to talk to before you decide therapy isn't for you.
