Compassionate Care for Your Emotional and Psychological Wellbeing

Frequently Asked Questions

Please ensure to book a longer appointment or inform your doctor that you’d like to discuss a mental health issue or get a mental health plan. You may also find it helpful to write down what you’ve been feeling beforehand.

Yes, your discussions with your GP are confidential. They cannot share your information without your permission, except in very limited circumstances, such as if there’s a serious risk of harm to yourself or others.

It’s a good idea to bring a list of any medications or supplements you’re currently taking. You might also want to bring a list of your symptoms and how they are affecting your daily life.

That’s completely normal. You can write your feelings down beforehand and simply give the notes to your doctor. You can also bring a trusted friend or family member for support if that makes you feel more comfortable.

The doctor will likely ask you questions about your thoughts, mood, and lifestyle. They may also use a questionnaire to help them understand your symptoms better. They will then discuss treatment options with you.

Not necessarily. Medication is just one of many options. Your GP will discuss whether medication is right for you and will also talk about other options like counselling or provide a referral to a specialist.

A Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) is a healthcare document created with your GP that allows you to claim a Medicare rebate for sessions with a psychologist or other mental health professional. It makes seeing a therapist more affordable.

Your GP can refer you to a variety of professionals, including a psychologist for counselling or a psychiatrist for more complex conditions or medication management.

With a Mental Health Treatment Plan, the government provides a rebate that covers a portion of the fee. The out-of-pocket cost (or “gap fee”) will depend on the psychologist’s fees. It’s a good idea to ask about their fees when you book your first appointment.
