To access a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP): (1) Book a longer GP appointment and tell your doctor you'd like to discuss your mental health. (2) Your GP assesses your needs and writes the plan. (3) You receive a referral to a registered psychologist. (4) Contact Living Change on (03) 9440 9886 and mention your MHCP when booking. This process typically takes a single GP visit and allows you to claim a Medicare rebate on up to 10 psychology sessions per calendar year.

Yes. Living Change's Bellfield clinic at 335 Bell Street is easily accessible from Heidelberg, Ivanhoe, Rosanna, Montmorency, Viewbank, and Heidelberg Heights. We are located close to Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital and within a short drive of Austin Health. Clients from across Melbourne's northern suburbs are welcome. Telehealth is also available for clients who prefer to see a Bellfield psychologist remotely.

A registered psychologist completes a minimum of six years of university training including supervised clinical practice and is regulated by AHPRA. Psychologists can provide Medicare-rebated sessions under a Mental Health Care Plan and are qualified to conduct psychological assessments. A counsellor typically completes a shorter qualification and is not AHPRA-registered, meaning Medicare rebates are not available — however, sessions are often more affordable. Living Change Bellfield offers both, so our reception team can help match you with the right practitioner for your needs and budget.

Yes. Living Change Bellfield is a registered provider for several major Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) including Acacia EAP, TELUS Health, Converge EAP, and ACCESS EAP. If your employer offers EAP sessions, you may be eligible to see a Bellfield psychologist at no cost to you. When booking, let our reception team know your EAP provider and they will match you with an eligible practitioner.
