Re: rough time
Gets even tougher with a mortgage and an 'end date' for when I am no longer going to get income protection @outlander - that means I either have to be ready to return to work (hahahaha) or I may have to sell my house - that would be the end for me!

Re: rough time
im sure youll work it out @Zoe7 your a smart cookie
the mental health system really sucks sometimes!
OK just a quiery.. @Sans911 if a psychologist says they have the option of bulk billing with a mental health care plan, would that mean they only bulk bill for the duration of the mhcp?

Re: rough time
Yes, I took a look at that too @outlander. That's what it generally means. It's pretty important to go to a particular psychologists website and have a look at their fees and charges there. Sometimes it will say they have the option of bulk billing for Centrelink card holders or persons on low income

Re: rough time
for this psycholgist, i went onto their website itself to have a look. it says the regular fees are $180 except the 10 medicare sessions or if i have private health insurance which i dont have... @Sans911 i havent come across anything that says bulkbilling or reduced costs pension cards etc.
would it still be worth enquiring with this one or maybe this one is unlikley?

Unlikely @outlander
I have found they will usually state it. It's a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack, that is, there's not a lot out there, but there are some. Maybe just look at 5 a day in your area. Otherwise you will get really frustrated.
I found mine very early, just a lucky strike. Don't give up yet. I believe there is someone right for you. Don't worry too much about whether they have dbt knowledge or training. Just look for a generalist pyschologist at this time. Mine isn't DBT qualified, but I she is aware of it.

Re: rough time
it is very frustrating @Sans911 i didnt realise how much our system is flawed until now. im not looking for dbt ones (its a bonus if they do) but i do want abit more than just cbt, that is all that ive done and its not really that helpful. ive had a look for a while now but am putting it away for now im only finding the ones that say bulk billing for the medicare rebates. or the ones who offer the service of just paying the gap fee but again only for those 10 sessions.
will find something else to do or now until tomorrow.
