A referral is not necessary for your child to undertake an assessment with a child psychologist at the Bluebell Centre. However, it is preferable that your child’s difficulties are first discussed with your GP or paediatrician before seeking a psychological assessment with our service. A comprehensive referral from your GP or paediatrician can be helpful in providing clinical information that will assist the assessment process. There are Medicare rebates available with certain referrals.
We offer a parent/carer initial appointment without your child present in order to obtain information that will allow us to make recommendations about what assessments might benefit your child. At the end of the initial appointment, we are able to advise of the cost, time it will take/number of appointments, and any other recommendations (e.g. a hearing test).
Bluebell Centre is not a bulk billing practice. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer a formal payment plan option for payment. We have credit card or direct debit options of payment available. Full payment is required by the last appointment and prior to the release of a report. Please discuss with us if you have any concerns regarding payment.
