How to choose

Match the profession to the need

Psychologists and mental health social workers provide therapy and can attract a Medicare rebate with a plan. Psychiatrists diagnose, prescribe and review medication. Counsellors and coaches offer support without a rebate, often at a lower fee and shorter wait.

Ask about neurodivergent-affirming practice

Ask how they adapt sessions for ADHD or autism: pacing, written summaries, sensory needs, flexible communication. A listing that names ADHD or autism is a starting point, not a guarantee.

Check availability and fees directly

Unclaimed listings show no fee or availability. Contact the practice, ask about the wait for a first appointment, the fee, the gap after any rebate, and telehealth.

Common questions

Are these practitioners verified by Inner Help?

Verified Inner Help practitioners are marked as such and have had their registration checked. Unclaimed directory listings are compiled from public professional directories, show only factual details as published, and are not verified or affiliated with Inner Help. Practitioners can claim, correct or remove a listing at any time.

Can I use Medicare?

With a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP you can claim a rebate for up to ten sessions a calendar year with a registered or clinical psychologist, mental health social worker or occupational therapist: $101.55 a session for a registered psychologist and $149.05 for a clinical psychologist from 1 July 2026. Counsellors and coaches are not Medicare-eligible. Psychiatrist consultations attract their own rebates.

Who can assess autism in adults in Newcastle?

Adult autism assessment is usually carried out by a psychologist, psychiatrist or a multidisciplinary team following the Autism CRC national guideline. There is no Medicare item that covers the whole assessment for adults, so most people pay privately; many practitioners here list autism as an area of practice.

Why are there no ratings or reviews?

Australian advertising rules for regulated health services do not allow testimonials. Profiles describe training, approach and areas of practice instead, and the finder never ranks or promotes listings.
