Sleeping issues
Sleep deprivation can be debilitating and affect your ability to function in your day to day life. Reasons for sleeping difficulties vary, but are often the cause of underlying stress, anxiety or depression.
Insomnia and Common Sleep Problems
You may require counselling for your sleeping issues if:
- You suffer from insomnia or an inability to get to sleep or continuously sleep through the night.
- You suffer from hypersomnia or an overwhelming need to sleep for long periods of time, accompaniedby continued drowsiness when awake.
- You don’t feel rested when you wake in the morning, and you spend the night “tossing and turning”.
- You are irritable during the day and have trouble controlling your emotions.
- You need a nap or caffeinated beverages to help you get through the day.

This scheme provides considerable financial assistance to people living with mental heath problems, allowing them greater access to psychologists and providing more affordable mental healthcare.
To access the Medicare Rebate, you need your GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician to complete a detailed mental health assessment and prepare a Mental Health Treatment Plan before referring you to a psychologist.
