Get Funded Trauma-Informed Therapy On Your Mental Health Plan Without the Wait

Use your Mental Health Plan to access deep, specialist care within 7 days

Not all therapy is the same. We help you skip the waitlist and therapists who ‘just talk’ and don’t help with expert support for trauma, burnout, and emotional overload.

“I’d done six different types of therapy before this. None of it touched what I really needed. Touchstone was the first place that didn’t just ask what was wrong, they asked what happened.”

Common Concerns, Handled:

“Is this bulk-billed?”

We are not fully bulk-billed, but rebates are available. We’ll explain your gap fees before you start.

“Do I need a referral?”

Yes. You’ll need a Mental Health Plan from your GP. If you don’t have one, we can help guide you through that.

“I’ve tried therapy before and didn’t feel heard.

That’s exactly why we exist. We specialise in helping clients who’ve had disappointing or shallow therapy experiences in the past.
