Where to start
GPs are a common first step for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep concerns. Psychologists provide talk therapy; psychiatrists manage medication and complex conditions, usually after referral.
What to expect
Initial appointments focus on understanding your situation and agreeing on a plan. Telehealth is widely used for mental health follow-ups.
Typical costs (indicative)
GP visits follow usual billing. With a mental health care plan, Medicare rebates apply to psychologist sessions — out-of-pocket costs vary. Psychiatrist fees are typically higher. Confirm with your clinic.
Booking & referrals
Book a GP first for assessment and care planning. Psychologist appointments under Medicare usually need a GP mental health care plan.
Common questions
- Can I see a psychologist without a GP?
- Yes, but Medicare rebates for psychologist sessions generally require a GP mental health care plan.
