Mental Health Care Plans
in Melbourne

A mental health care plan is a plan you develop with your GP to support your mental health. It sets out your goals and the treatment that will help you reach them. 

What is a mental health care plan?

A mental health care plan is developed between you and your GP. It details your mental health concerns, your personal goals and your treatment. It is designed to help you work towards those goals and look after your mental health and wellbeing. Your GP can then refer you to a psychologist or other eligible mental health professional, who provides the treatment.

Who is eligible?

You need a Medicare card and a mental health condition that your GP assesses would benefit from treatment. You do not need a diagnosis before you book. Your GP will talk with you, assess your symptoms and history, and decide whether a plan is right for you.
