Finding a Psychologist in Newcastle

Newcastle and the broader Hunter Region has a growing network of registered psychologists offering a wide range of services — from anxiety and depression through to specialist eating disorder treatment, ADHD assessment, and trauma therapy.

Most psychologists in Newcastle accept referrals under a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP, which entitles you to Medicare rebates on up to 10 individual sessions per calendar year.

Telehealth options have expanded significantly, meaning you can access Newcastle-based psychologists from anywhere across NSW.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a GP referral to see a psychologist?
No — you can self-refer as a private client. However, a GP referral with a Mental Health Care Plan unlocks Medicare rebates.
What's the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?
Psychologists are trained in assessment and therapy. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication.
How much does a session cost in Newcastle?
Private sessions typically range from $180–$280 per hour. With an MHCP, you receive back approximately $141.85 (clinical) or $96.65 (registered) per session.
How do I verify a psychologist is AHPRA registered?
Search any practitioner's registration at ahpra.gov.au using their name.
