Your GP is your first point of contact for mental health concerns. 

The GPs at Harding Street Medical Centre are aware that mental and physical health are closely linked and both are important for your overall health and wellbeing. 

You can obtain a referral for psychological therapy via a Mental Health Care Plan with your GP 

Your GP can also discuss with you other options for management of mental health conditions including lifestyle changes, medication and referrals to psychiatrists for more complex cases

When booking for mental health issues please ensure that you book a long appointment.

The Federal Government has removed rebates for mental health consults from November 1 2025. If you need to discuss mental health concerns with your GP over the phone please ensure you have signed up for “My Medicare” with Harding Street so you are able to receive appropriate time-based rebates.
