Mental Health Care Plans

Mental health is a crucial component of overall wellbeing, and accessing the right support can make a profound difference in your quality of life. Our doctors are trained in mental health assessment and care planning, and can develop a comprehensive Mental Health Care Plan that allows you to access up to 10 Medicare-funded psychology sessions per year. This program significantly reduces the cost of seeing a psychologist, making mental health support more accessible when you need it most.

The process begins with a thorough assessment of your mental health, including your symptoms, how they're affecting your daily life, and your treatment goals. Your doctor will discuss your options for support and, if appropriate, develop a Mental Health Care Plan tailored to your specific needs. We'll provide a referral to a psychologist or other mental health professional who best matches your needs and preferences, and we'll coordinate with them to ensure you receive consistent, integrated care.

Mental Health Care Plans require regular review to ensure your treatment remains effective and appropriate. We'll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, discuss how therapy is going, and adjust your plan as needed. Many patients find that accessing professional psychology support through a Mental Health Care Plan is a turning point in managing conditions like depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health challenges. We're here to support your mental health journey every step of the way.
