United Minds Community Services
We understand that funding the financial gap between the Medicare rebate and Psychology fees can be a challenge and for some, it is impossible. Sadly, many people miss out on much needed psychological support because they simply cannot afford it. Unfortunately, the low increases we have seen with the Medicare rebates over the last decade have meant bulk billing is now financially unsustainable for businesses. To help bridge this gap, we have introduced Community Funded Sessions (CFS). To enable CFS for the Community we seek funding through grants & fundraising. All funds raised through these efforts allow us to fund most of the cost for psychological sessions on behalf of people who cannot afford it or who, due to their circumstances, would struggle to access our service without the support from a CFS place. There is a small co-payment fee of $20.

Thousands of organisations across Australia are registered with GIVIT, working across a variety of causes, hardships and demographics. Our priority is to respect and maintain the privacy, safety, dignity and independence of people reaching out for help.

We recommend you speak with the support organisation that you’re working with. They may not be registered with GIVIT, or they may not have placed your request yet.
Please note that there is no guarantee that your request for donated items or services will be met. We’d love to meet every request placed on GIVIT, but your request being filled is dependent on donation(s) being made by donor(s).
