You don't need to wait for a GP to enquire or book with Lauren. If you'd like to discuss whether psychology may be appropriate, you can contact Lauren directly. A referral is not necessary to see a psychologist, however, you may be eligible for a rebate on the above fee if you discuss a referral with your GP.
Cancellation Policy:
Please provide 24 hours notice if you wish to cancel or reschedule your appointment. When the cancelled appointment cannot be filled or the scheduled appointment is not attended, the full session fee will be charged.
