Bushfire victims to get MBS psych sessions without GP referral
The move is part of the government's mental health response
Patients affected by bushfires will be able to claim up to 10 MBS-funded psychological treatment sessions a year without a GP referral, under the Federal Government’s response to the ongoing crisis.
The aim is to address the mental health effects of the unprecedented bushfire season — now being dubbed the Black Summer — which has claimed 27 lives, more than 2000 homes and at least 10 million hectares of land.
