 FAQs

  • Yes, we offer both. We are located at 1 Gwendoline Street, Mount Gambier, and can also offer telehealth sessions to those who are unable to attend in person.

  • Telehealth is having a session with a health care provider by phone or video. At Lunar Clinical Psychology we use Zoom, as it is easy to use and meets all encryption requirements as set out by the Australian Psychological Society.

    To access telehealth consultations you will need access to a quiet, private space; and the appropriate device, i.e. smartphone, laptop, iPad, computer, with a camera, microphone and speakers; and a reliable broadband internet connection.

    There may be some services for which telehealth is not appropriate or effective. We will consider and discuss with you the appropriateness of ongoing telehealth sessions during our intake conversation or as sessions progress.

  • You do not need a referral to make an appointment. However, a referral and a Mental Health Care Treatment Plan from your GP may allow you to claim a rebate for part of your fee for a number of sessions per year. GP referrals can be sent via email, fax or post.

  • Yes, we do. Please contact us for more information.

  • No. We do not see clients for the primary purpose of completing DSP applications.

    Our reports can be used to support an NDIS/DSP application, however your GP or primary allied health practitioner will need to complete these applications with you.

  • We only offer therapy to individuals aged 16 and older, and assessments for adults at this time.
