Waiting times for appointments
You may noticed that over the past couple of years the waiting period to see a Psychologist has increased.
At inSync for life Psychology we do all we can to get you in to see a Psychologist as soon as possible.
Unfortunately however, there is often a waiting time to see one of our clinicians.
However... if the matter is urgent or if you don't want to wait, there are alternatives.....
First:
We can refer you to one of our highly trained and experienced
Registered Counsellors!
All of our Counsellors are Registered with an appropriate regulatory body such as the Australian Counselling Association:
Australia's largest single registration body for Counsellors and Psychotherapists

If you are referred to one of our Registered Counsellors, you should know:
- you may be eligible for private health fund rebates - please check with your fund: Medicare rebates under a Mental Health Care Plan are not available
- your Counsellor will advise your Doctor of your referral and provide an outline of your counselling plan (with your permission)
- the Counsellor will provide updates of your counselling to your Doctor (again, with your permission)
another alternative to waiting:
You can be seen by our Intern Psychologist, James: click here for more information about James
James provides counselling with the supervision of Steve, our Principal Psychologist.
The cost to see James is the same out of pocket amount that you would pay if you were referred under a Mental Health Care Plan by your Doctor.
James provides counselling in a wide variety of areas and works under the same code of ethics as our other clinicians.
He will also provide feedback to your Doctor with your permission.
