Your mental health matters just as much as your physical health. If you have been feeling low, anxious, overwhelmed or simply not yourself, talking to your GP is a confidential and practical first step.
Support that starts with a conversation
Our doctors provide a safe, non judgemental space to talk about how you are travelling. Together you can work out what support looks like for you. For many patients that includes a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan, a structured plan prepared with your doctor that sets out your goals and connects you with the right professional support.
What we can help with
We provide confidential mental health consultations, GP Mental Health Treatment Plans, referrals to psychologists and other mental health professionals, medication management where appropriate, and regular reviews. With a plan in place, Medicare provides rebates for up to 10 individual sessions with a psychologist each calendar year.
