Mental Health 
Care Plan

If you are struggling with a mental health disorder (anxiety, depression) you can consult your GP and undergo assessment to get a mental health care plan. The plan identifies what type of health care you need and spells out what you and your doctor have agreed you are aiming to achieve. It may also refer you to local mental health services.

It entitles you to a medicare rebate on 6 sessions with a health professional (psychologist, occupational therapist, social worker). Then you can if needed get access to more sessions when you revisit your GP depending on your assessment.

Visit a general practitioner (GP) or psychiatrist to discuss your mental health concerns.If you’re feeling nervous, there’s no need to worry – that’s a really normal response.

During the appointment, your doctor might ask you to fill out a questionnaire about how you’ve been feeling to work out the best support for you.

Your doctor will decide whether a mental health care plan is the right thing for you. A lot of GPs may ask you to come back for another appointment before making this decision.
