Accredited Mental Health Social Workers (AMHSWs) use a range of strategies to support people experiencing mental health issues. These social workers have completed advanced training and education in mental health and are recognised providers with Medicare Australia.
If you are experiencing mental health issues, your GP can provide a Mental Health Treatment Plan and refer you to an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker. This will enable you to claim a rebate for up to 10 sessions with an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker. Accredited Mental Health Social Worker services are also covered by Bupa Private Health Insurance, Teachers Health and HCF Extras cover.
At Pelican Arts, art materials and processes are often used to enhance the impact of other psychological strategies used by Mental Health Social Workers, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, relaxation techniques, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
If you would like to book an appointment with a Mental Health Social Worker who is also a Professionally Registered Art Therapist please read our Referrals and Fees page and view our Privacy Policy
