What to Expect

  • Once you have booked your first appointment you will receive an email confirmation

  • You will also receive a second email with details to help you locate the clinic, along with some form links for you to complete, including your basic contact details, a consent form, and a screening questionnaire

  • For your first appointment we will focus on establishing a shared understanding of your current concerns and identify your treatment goals

  • If you have been referred by your Dr, you will need to bring in your referral letter to your first appointment. This referral is referred to as a Mental Health Care Plan

  • Following your first appointment, I will send a brief letter to your referring Dr to confirm the start of treatment

  • When being referred under a Mental Health Care Plan, Medicare requires that I send your referring Dr a summary letter outlining your treatment and outcomes to date, following the completion of session 6. I will also request a repeat questionnaire which will assist in the review of treatment for your Dr

  • The summary letter will be sent to your referring Dr prior to your review appointment. At this review appointment you can then discuss with your referring Dr if you would like to request for an additional 4 sessions under a MHCP referral
