Amount of sessions you receive?

[Xara]

So i am aware that you can get up to ten sessions with a psychologist per year. However are these ten sessions also connected to seeing a psychiatrist? So when you see a psychiatrist does it use up one of these sessions?

Hi Xara, our resident GP and counsellor Dr Kim has just answered this question in this thread here:

hi Xara, have you been seeing anyone at the moment, but if you want to see a psychiatrist as Dr. Kim has suggested ask them first of all if they bulk bill, that's is Medicare pay for the session. Geoff.
