Mental Health

If you feel that you may be affected by a mental health condition, speaking to a GP is a really good place to start. Mental health conditions are treatable, and the earlier you seek support, the better. Mental health is about wellness rather than illness – it’s about finding ways to achieve your best possible mental health and full potential in life. The doctors will work with you to help you achieve this.

How can a doctor help you?

In a private consultation, a doctor will assess your current situation and provide personalised, confidential advice. This may include strategies to help you manage your stress levels or sleep concerns, ways to achieve a sustainable work/life balance, or guidance to help you get through a rough patch.

Other common mental health conditions in patients may include:

  • anxiety
  • depression and insomnia
  • suicide prevention
  • self-harm and self-injury
  • phobias like flight or social anxiety
  • pregnancy and early parenthood
  • low immune system
  • stress management
  • grief and loss.

In some instances, the doctors at SmartClinics may recommend a range of different treatment options, including seeing a mental health specialist, such as a psychologist, social worker, or occupational therapist. For the convenience of patients, many SmartClinics Family Medical Centres have a number of Specialists who consult from within SmartClinics centres.

Bulk Billed Mental Health Care Plans

A mental health care plan may include access to a private psychologist, therapist, social worker, or mental health nurse. Sessions with any mental health professional (except private Psychiatrists) can be bulk billed and can include 10 ‘free’ sessions with healthcare professionals that are private and personalised for your own needs.
