Explanatory notes

Better Access to Mental Health Care initiative

Psychologists who are registered to provide specialist clinical psychology services under this initiative are identified by a ‘yes' in the 'Clinical' column. All other listed psychologists are eligible to provide Focussed Psychological Strategy (FPS) services under this initiative.²

Pregnancy support counselling initiative 

Only those psychologists who have completed the mandatory training in non-directive pregnancy support counselling are eligible to provide services under this initiative, and they are identified by a ‘yes' in the 'Pregnancy' column.

Services for children with autism or any other pervasive developmental disorder (PDD)

In order to facilitate quality service provision by psychologists delivering the autism or any other PDD Medicare items, the APS has identified psychological practitioners with training and experience in the assessment and treatment of autism and PDD. These practitioners are identified by a ‘yes' in the 'Autism' column. There is no specific eligibility criteria to provide the autism or any other PDD Medicare items. Psychologists have elected to be identified on a voluntary basis.  

Services for people who have a chronic medical condition and complex care needs

All listed psychologists are eligible to provide psychological health services under this initiative.
