Have you gone through the WPATH process to affirm your gender? We’d love to talk to you about your experience! We are hoping to talk to people like you about what went well for you, and what could have been done better.

The call by AAPi and eight other psychology bodies for the Federal Government to remove the 10-session limit on Medicare psychology sessions is highlighted in a story across News Corp publications today.

"A coalition of nine peak bodies have united behind a petition urging Health Minister Mark Butler to lift the cap for certain disorders, warning that under the current system people are “tapping in and tapping out” of mental health support when they can afford to access it, rather than based on medical need," the article read.

AAPi President Sahra O’Doherty said the current 10-session limit was more based on budget constraints than medical or clinical advice.

But Ms O’Doherty said not giving patients enough subsidised support to adequately treat their mental health conditions costs the health system more over time as people then needed either longer or more intensive treatment.

"The government is pouring so much funding into what we call a ‘sprinkling of mental health support’, but all it’s doing is band-aiding the problem, as opposed to really looking at what is a system that could support not just early intervention, but ongoing and potentially long-term support for people who desperately need it,” she said.
