Developing Partnerships are Important to us!

Feedback to Medical Practitioners Once a patient has booked or attended an appointment, we send an acknowledgment letter to the referrer. So if you haven't received this letter from us, we usually haven't had contact from the patient.

At closure, and after the 6th and 10th sessions we provide you with feedback. At times we may also provide you with additional feedback for your review as necessary.

 

Helpful Tips

  • Please ensure all referrals are addressed to Happy Me, then we can match it to the appropriate counsellor.
  • Ensure you have billed a MHTP or EPC plan so patients can claim the medicare rebates.
  • Yes, adults can be referred to our service! See a range of commonly presenting issues here.
