Frequently Asked Questions

To obtain a mental health treatment plan (MHTP) and referral, book an appointment with your GP. Discuss your concerns openly and undergo a comprehensive assessment. If deemed necessary, your GP will create a personalised treatment plan outlining goals, treatment options, and available support services, including Mental Health Direct.

The plan allows you to access Medicare rebates for up to 10 individual and 10 group sessions with a mental health professional per calendar year.

Your 50-minute therapy session with our care team provides you with a confidential and supportive environment to discuss your concerns, explore emotions, gain insights, and work towards personal growth and well-being through therapeutic techniques and strategies.

If you need to cancel your session, please inform us at least 24 hours in advance to avoid a cancellation fee of $25. We appreciate your timely communication.
