Starting from what you need instead
Services in the header groups the directory by what you’re after rather than by who provides it.
Services groups the directory by what you're looking for rather than by discipline
Searching
Two boxes at the top. Nothing runs until you select Search or press Enter.
Both boxes suggest as you type. Search ADHD screening and you’ll find a menu that says ADHD assessment. Every word must match something, so fewer words find more people.
Medicare & Care Guide beside the heading opens a plain-English guide to Better Access rules, Mental Health Treatment Plan session caps, and how rebates work. It is not clinical advice. See Rebates and funding.

The two boxes sit above the results, with the count telling you where you are
Filters
Filters sit in a column beside the results, with Clear all at the top. Options inside a group widen your results; options across groups narrow them.Care type
Care type
Only care types open for bookings: Psychology, Counselling, Social Workers, Mental
Health Support Workers, and Art & Music Therapy. See Care types.
Service
Service
Services rather than disciplines — assessments, initial consultations, couples work — drawn from
what therapists offer.
Who they see
Who they see
Adults, Couples, Teenagers, Children, or Carers and families. A therapist who
has never answered is treated as seeing adults, which is what the directory has always assumed.
Focus areas
Focus areas
The same concerns as matching — anxiety, trauma, grief, ADHD, and the rest. A tick here matches
what the therapist publishes as a focus, not a search of their bio.
How I work
How I work
Approaches they named: CBT, EMDR, ACT, schema, psychodynamic, and the others on the list.
Availability
Availability
This week, Weekends, Evenings, Overnight support, all read off published hours.
Session mode
Session mode
Online, In person, and Comes to you for home visits.
Booking
Booking
Instant booking, Request to book, or Waitlist. Instant and request only match
therapists you can book today; waitlist is everyone whose profile would open that form instead.
Price
Price
Per session: under $130, $130–$170, $170–$220, $220+. Per hour: under $80, $80+. The two
never mix in the same band. No gap with Medicare is a price filter too — therapists whose
listed fee is covered in full by the Medicare benefit. Those listings also wear a No gap
badge on the card.
Funding
Funding
Medicare rebate, NDIS, Private health, DVA, and Sliding scale.
Gender
Gender
Built from therapists who answered the question. Ticking it hides anyone who hasn’t, which is why
matching weights the preference instead.
Language
Language
Built from the languages therapists in the directory speak.
Sorting
The count above the results reads Showing 12 of 40 therapists when filters are narrowing things, and just the count when they aren’t.
The map
The map appears once place is in play: a real suburb in Where, or an in-person or home-visit filter. Type online and it stays a list. The List and Map toggle forces either.
In map view the results run down the left and the pins carry the price
Pins carry the price, merge into a count bubble you can zoom into when they sit close together, and only draw a radius when the pin belongs to one person.
Location matching covers every clinic a therapist works from, plus anywhere they’ll travel to.
On a phone
Filters open as a bottom sheet, and the button at the bottom counts the result — Show 12 therapists.No results
Clear all filters clears the two search boxes as well. Price, gender and language are usually the ones doing the narrowing.Next
