Psychologists and psychiatrists both play crucial roles in mental health care, but psychologists typically focus on therapy and behavioural interventions, while psychiatrists can prescribe medications and have a more medical approach. At Oqea Cares, the two professions collaborate to provide comprehensive mental health care. If you are unsure what services you need, leave this option selected and we'll assess your needs and match you to the right support.
Please note:
There are currently wait times for seeing our psychiatrists. If you would like to have assistance prior to seeing a psychiatrist, you might like to consider seeing one of our available psychologists. If you are unsure what services you need, start by
submitting a general enquiry
and our team will come back to you to talk you through next steps.

Referral types
*
Please select all that apply.
GP or Specialist Referral (from from a Psychiatrist or Paediatrician)
Department of Veteran Affairs Referral
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
I am seeking help without a referral
I intend to get a referral later
I don't know, please inform me about the process
If you have a gold card with the Department of Veteran Affairs, your sessions with a psychologist will be fully funded by DVA. If you have a white card with the specific pre-approved mental health condition, your sessions with a psychologist will be fully funded by DVA. You will need a DVA referral from a GP or a Psychiatrist. Oqea Cares will organise the payment for all appointments directly with the DVA.
If you are self-managed or plan-managed for psychological services, your sessions with a psychologist will be fully funded by the NDIS. A service agreement with Oqea Cares will need to be completed and signed by the person managing the plan at the commencement of services.
Please note: Medicare rebates for services may also be available for up to 10 sessions per calendar year, under Medicare Better Access to Mental Health. You will need a GP referral and Mental Health Care Plan, or a psychiatrist or paediatrician referral.
Please note:
Oqea Cares is a private practice. You can see our psychologists without a referral, but you will need pay the full consultation fees on the day of your appointment. Psychology services fees vary depending on the length of the session and the registration type and experience of the practitioner. You will be provided confirmation of these fees prior to your first session.
