Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP)

How to obtain a
Mental Health Care Plan

Book and attend an in-person or Telehealth appointment with your doctor and request a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP).

Ask the Medical Centre to send us the MHCP via fax or ask for a copy of your MHCP and provide this document to our practice.

You will then be entitled to 6 rebatable sessions with a psychologist. After using them, if you and your psychologist believe you need more sessions after this, proceed to step 4.
04
Make another appointment with your doctor to discuss eligibility for a new referral. If they agree there is a need for more sessions, you will then be entitled to more sessions.
