What to compare
Before you book, compare these.
Check their focus
Some focus on anxiety and depression, others on family; read their profile.
Check qualifications
Psychologists are Ahpra-registered; counsellors differ, and rebates may too.
Language and format
Can they speak your language, and offer online sessions?
Extras and Medicare separately
With a GP mental health plan you can use Medicare, but not Extras for the same session.

You might also ask
Is it confidential?
Yes. Registered psychologists must keep it confidential, except where the law requires otherwise.
What if it's urgent?
If you're thinking of harming yourself or others, call 000 or Lifeline on 13 11 14 now.
What should I look at before rebates?
First work out what kind of care you need, who provides it and how they charge, then see what Extras pays. Rebates only matter once the service is right.
Can I use ExtrasMate without private health insurance?
Yes. The service guide and provider search are free for everyone; you just pay the provider yourself.
Once I've chosen, how do I know if Extras will pay?
Ask the provider for the item number and price, then check in your insurer's app or by phone. Or add us on WeChat and we'll check for you.
Is a provider offer the same as an Extras rebate?
No. Rebates are paid by your insurer under your policy; offers are discounts from the provider. Their conditions differ, so confirm each.
What can you do on WeChat? Can you book for me?
Yes. We can explain your policy's conditions, compare providers, find offers that apply and book for you, free.
This is a service guide, not an online diagnosis. A qualified professional decides what suits you. In an emergency or if you're seriously unwell, call 000.
