Description
Since the launch of Better Access back in 2007, there have been multiple changes and adaptations to the program, leaving mental health professionals and referrers equally confused and frustrated.
In addition to the basics of Better Access (which could be confusing enough at times) we’ve had Bushfire Items, Covid Items, Telehealth, and the “Extra 10” to contend with. While I absolutely celebrate that Better Access has helped increase the availability of private mental health treatment within the community, it has become something of a Frankenstein’s monster, with bits bolted on all over the place! Also known as an “administrative nightmare”!
And don’t get me started on the Helpline! (I know they’re doing their best, but really … )
What is the difference between a MHCP and a referral? What about a re-referral versus a review? How many sessions can my client have access to? Do referrals expire? What about Plans? What happens if I’m audited? Do I need a new referral in January? And what does ‘shared liability’ mean?
If you’re confused, congratulations. It just proves you’re as normal as the rest of us!
But rest assured, I can help sort you out. What makes me so special? I was one of the original trainers when Better Access was first rolled out. I’ve been providing training pretty much ever since, and now I have a team behind me keep us all up-to-date with any changes as they happen..
This training will take you through the basics and beyond and help you move confidently into dealing with this program within your private practice. By the time I’m done with you, you could even be whipping your referrers into shape! (Hint: They’re no more an expert than you are, and have umpteen other programs to deal with too). You will have ongoing access to the training materials, including any updates as they happen.
Training materials include:
- Pre-recorded video content
- Workbook and tip sheets
- FAQ’s
- Letter templates
- Survival Guide
