Mental Health Support at Emerald Medical Centre
Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. At Emerald Medical Centre, we understand that challenges such as anxiety, depression, and emotional distress can feel overwhelming — but with the right support, recovery and wellbeing are possible.
Mental Health Care Plan
Our GPs can help by creating a Mental Health Care Plan, which is an extended consultation where your doctor takes the time to understand your situation, symptoms, and possible contributing factors. Together, you’ll explore treatment options, which may include counseling, lifestyle strategies, or referral to a psychologist.
With a Mental Health Care Plan in place, Medicare provides funding for up to 10 psychotherapy sessions each calendar year. This usually begins with 6 sessions. If further support is needed, your GP can arrange a review to access an additional 4 sessions.
We are here to ensure you feel listened to, supported, and guided towards the right care for your individual needs.
