What is a Mental Health Plan and how can it help you?

 

A mental health plan is a plan that a doctor writes for you to help you deal with your mental health condition. This plan will help you gain access to psychologists and other allied-health professionals who can ultimately help you manage your mental health.

Writing a Mental Health Plan with your GP helps document how you’re feeling at a particular time and gives them the opportunity to refer you to the relevant mental health specialist.

Once you have the Mental Health Plan, you’re entitled to a Medicare rebate of up to 10 consultations with a mental health professional, including Psychologists, Social Workers or Occupational Therapists.

Anxiety and depression affect millions of Australians, yet many people find it tough to talk about their mental health concerns with friends and family. The doctors at Inner North Medical Clinic understand what you’re feeling, and are here to lend an ear and a hand. Together, we can work out a Mental Health Care Plan that works for you.
