How I relate. Health Can Support You

I relate. Health is our online psychology and allied health service designed to provide accessible and affordable mental health care to all.

As experts in relationships, we know there may be times when you need to seek additional support. With the support of one of our psychologists we can help uncover the why, providing understanding and strategies so you can make positive moves forward.

You may benefit from our experienced and specialised team of psychologists and mental health specialists if you are:

  • feeling anxious or have frequent worried thoughts
  • depressed, feel stuck in the past or have a general lack of joy or motivation. You may be withdrawing from life
  • experiencing overwhelming feelings of grief or loss over a loved one, a relationship or a significant life event
  • unable to shift persistent feelings of overwhelm or stress
  • feeling emotional discomfort, your emotions may be too strong or not there at all. You may be struggling and not able to find healthy outlets to express them
  • struggling with addiction or substance abuse

 

Why Choose I relate. Health?

As a not-for-profit provider we believe everyone should have access to accessible and affordable psychological care and are determined to ensure that I relate. Health is care you can relate to. We achieve this by ensuring your care is:

Affordable

We are committed to providing affordable mental health care and support services and can offer you low cost telehealth psychological support. If for any reason our fees are preventing you seeking support you can request for a fee review to bulk bill your service with a valid mental health care plan. See our fees for more details

Accessible

We offer help to all whether you reach out to us directly (self-referral), are referred to us by your GP with a mental health care plan or via an insurance claim including workers compensation. We also don't want you to be limited by the availability of mental health support services in your local area so save on travel and wait time and receive quality support at a time and place that works for you, either online or via phone. Online support is provided via a high-quality conferencing system, using either your mobile, computer or tablet, secured with end-to-end encryption to ensure your privacy.

Effective

The I relate. Health team are highly qualified, experienced, and skilled allied health clinicians, counsellors and clinical psychologists who deliver evidence informed online mental health care. Research consistently shows that for most mental health conditions online psychological support is as effective as in-person. Similarly, people’s overall satisfaction with telehealth is comparable to in-person appointments.

Psychologists

In Australia, psychology is a regulated profession and includes registered psychologists and clinical psychologists. They are accredited by the Psychology Board of Australia, which is part of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). At a minimum all psychologists complete a 6-year sequence of university studies and supervised training. A Clinical Psychologist has completed an advanced training program in the form of either a Masters or Doctorate qualification plus a program of supervised practice.

Psychologists are trained in the science of how people think, feel, behave and learn. Psychologists have specialist skills and expertise in assessing, diagnosing, and treating moderate to severe mental health conditions.

Counsellors

Counsellors help people to achieve their goals in a positive and collaborative way. Typically focussing on a single issue or need they help to clarify issues, explore options, and develop strategies to manage it effectively. If you are seeking support for more complex concerns or issues a psychologist or mental health social worker may be best for you.

Our relationship counsellors provide high quality relationship counselling for individuals, couples, families, and children, helping you to develop insights and understanding about your relationships to help build capacity that creates safe and thriving relationships.

How to Get a Mental Health Treatment Plan

The Australian Government's Better Access Initiative provides Medicare rebates to access psychological support from a psychologist or mental health social worker.

To access these rebates you will need a Mental Health Treatment Plan which is issued by your GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician, written collaboratively between you and your doctor, outlining your mental health goals and treatment options.

With a valid Mental Health Care Plan and referral to I relate. Health, you can claim up to 10 individual Medicare subsidised sessions each calendar year leaving a gap fee to pay of only $60 per session.

If you're unable to book in a session with your GP prior to your first session we can accept a Mental Health Treatment Plan at any point and you'll receive the payment assistance from your next session.
