How your GP can help
In a private consultation, your doctor will listen, assess what is happening and work with you on the next step. This may include practical strategies, counselling options, medication or referral to another health professional.
Our GPs support people with concerns including anxiety, depression, insomnia, stress, grief and loss, adjustment difficulties, pregnancy and early parenthood, substance use and self-harm.
Mental health care plans
If appropriate, your GP can prepare a mental health treatment plan and discuss Medicare-rebated sessions with an eligible psychologist or other mental health professional. Please book a longer appointment for a care plan.
