A Safe Space to Talk
Our GPs provide a confidential, non-judgemental environment where you can speak openly about what you are going through. There is no pressure, no rush, and no judgement – just honest, compassionate care.
Access to Subsidised Psychology
Through the Better Access Scheme, your GP can prepare a Mental Health Treatment Plan that entitles you to up to 10 Medicare-rebated sessions with a psychologist per calendar year – significantly reducing the cost of mental health care.
Holistic Care for the Whole Person
Mental and physical health are deeply connected. Our GPs consider both together, making sure that any physical factors contributing to your mental health are identified and addressed as part of your care.
Ongoing Support and Continuity
Mental health is rarely a one-appointment issue. We provide ongoing support, regular reviews, and adjustments to your care plan over time – so you always have a GP in your corner as things change.
Medication Management Where Appropriate
For patients for whom medication may be part of the treatment plan, our GPs can prescribe and monitor mental health medications with regular follow-up reviews to assess how you are responding.
Convenient Evening and Weekend Appointments
Open Monday to Friday until 9:00 pm and on weekends. Bulk billing available for eligible Medicare card holders for standard mental health consultations.

How to get a Mental Health Treatment Plan
- Book a longer appointment with one of our GPs and tell reception it is for mental health.
- Your GP talks with you about how you are feeling and may ask you to fill in a short questionnaire.
- Together you write a plan with your goals and the support that suits you.
- If a psychologist is part of the plan, your GP writes a referral. With the plan, you can claim a Medicare rebate for up to 10 sessions with a psychologist each calendar year.
- Your GP reviews the plan with you after your first sessions.
Mental health appointments by telehealth
If it is hard to get to the clinic, many mental health reviews can be done by phone or video with your usual GP. Read about our telehealth appointments.

You can book a psychologist without a referral, but you will not get a Medicare rebate. To claim the rebate, you need a Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral from a GP.
How many psychology sessions does Medicare cover?
With a Mental Health Treatment Plan, Medicare gives a rebate for up to 10 individual sessions each calendar year.
Can I talk to a GP about mental health even if I do not want a plan?
Yes. You can book a normal appointment to talk about how you are feeling. Your GP will go at your pace.
Is what I say kept private?
Yes. Your appointment is confidential. Your information is only shared with your permission, or when the law requires it to keep someone safe.
