Amber Vonhoff Psychology consulting room is located at 8/100 Burnett Street, Buderim within Buderim Psychology Clinic and shares the same carpark as Aimee Province High Tea Parlour. 

Parking is available in the complex, and towards the back of the building. If you do not find a carpark here, there is street parking along Burnett street which will allow a few minutes to walk. 

Please allow additional time for parking before appointments as the roads leading into Buderim become busy during school drop off hours.

Clients may be eligible for a referral from a GP or a psychiatrist called a Mental Health Treatment Plan which offers a rebate towards the service fee for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. 

After we have received your payment you can claim through medicare directly, or Amber Vonhoff Psychology can process this claim on your behalf through online claiming systems. Medicare advises that these funds will appear in your bank account within 2-3 business days.

If you have completed a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) referral in the last 6 months, you will not need a new one.  However, you will require a referral letter from your GP to book your first appointment. This letter from your GP will need to state the number of sessions you are referred for (typically 6 or 4), and which plan you are referred under (ie, Mental Health Treatment Plan ).

If you have a copy of your MHTP – please bring this with you to your first appointment, along with the referral letter. Or ask your GP to address the referral to the following details:
