If you use the medicare number 291 you can get it for cheaper. My psychiatrist doesn't cost a lot (they cost a lot but not $500 or $1k) so I was able to get my first appointment for free, but definitely use this!

I was offered a slightly cheaper ongoing consultations option with the psych (but it was still effin expensive), or the 291 option and let my GP take care of the 'script. I went the 291.

I wish my local docs could do the scripts, I hate having to pay like $90 just to get a script.
