Trauma

I use my 10 each year and definitely need more visits available when I have my breakdowns, currently i have to ration to no less than a 1 month gap between visits when at times i could really use weekly or fortnightly but can't knowing that I would need 2 months between sessions which just isn't doable with my complex issues, maybe a similar program to the mymedicare but just for psychology would be beneficial for those that need extra help

I don't know why the government thought cutting this was a good idea.
If people are struggling to function, they cannot contribute properly to the community and the economy. Investing in people's mental health and helping them get back on track will improve Australia's economic productivity in the long run, justifying the money spent on it.

Coming from a family that has had its share of struggles with mental health over the years, I know that there is deep value in psychological services. I absolutely support the initiative to increase the number of sessions rebated through Medicare. The good this will do for many people is invaluable.

People are hurting and there is more need for support than at any time in the past. 10 sessions is not adequate while people are also dealing with cost of living increased, and it places a significant burden on individuals as well as practitioners who are burning out at record numbers.
Show you take mental health seriously and let people have a choice in what services they access and where, and at a level that can be therapeutic.
