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.
