Frequently Asked Questions

Start by identifying what issues you want to address, then use our filters to find therapists who specialise in those areas. Consider factors like location (Surfers Paradise, Southport, Broadbeach, etc.), whether they offer telehealth, their therapeutic approach, and whether they bulk bill or offer Medicare rebates. Reading therapist profiles and their areas of expertise can help you find the right match.

Therapy costs on the Gold Coast typically range from $150-$300 per session depending on the practitioner's experience and qualifications. With a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, you can receive Medicare rebates of around $93 per session for up to 10 sessions per year. Some therapists bulk bill, meaning you pay nothing out of pocket with a valid referral.

Yes, many Gold Coast therapists offer telehealth (video or phone) appointments. This is particularly convenient given the spread of the Gold Coast from Coolangatta to the northern suburbs. Use our telehealth filter to find practitioners who offer online sessions, which can be especially helpful if you have a busy schedule, limited transport options, or prefer the comfort of your own home.

Psychologists have completed a minimum of 6 years of university training and are registered with AHPRA. They can provide Medicare-rebatable services with a GP Mental Health Care Plan. Counsellors typically have diploma or degree-level qualifications and may be members of professional associations like ACA or PACFA. Both can provide effective therapy, but only services from registered psychologists attract Medicare rebates.

Yes, many Gold Coast therapists work with tourists, international visitors, and temporary residents. The Gold Coast's popularity as a tourist destination means practitioners are experienced with short-term clients and crisis support. However, Medicare rebates are only available to Australian citizens, permanent residents, and visitors from countries with reciprocal healthcare agreements. Contact therapists directly to discuss payment options if you're visiting.
