Mental Health Care Plans
If clinically appropriate, your GP can prepare a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP). This is a structured document that outlines your mental health needs, treatment goals, and recommended course of care. A Mental Health Care Plan provides access to Medicare-subsidised sessions with a psychologist, mental health social worker, occupational therapist, or other eligible mental health professional.
Under Medicare, eligible patients may access up to 10 individual and up to 10 group therapy sessions per calendar year when referred under a Mental Health Care Plan. Your GP will discuss whether this is suitable for your circumstances and which type of mental health professional would best support your needs.
Please book a long consultation (30 minutes) when attending for mental health concerns.
This allows your GP adequate time to discuss your situation thoroughly, complete any relevant assessments, and prepare documentation without feeling rushed.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
When you attend a mental health consultation at Baldivis Family Medical Centre, your GP will take time to understand your current concerns and overall wellbeing. Appointments are completely confidential and conducted in a caring, non-judgemental environment.
Your Consultation May Include
- A thorough discussion of your mental health symptoms, history, and current circumstances
- Standardised screening tools to assist with assessment (where appropriate)
- Discussion of treatment options including self-management strategies, counselling, and medication where clinically indicated
- Preparation of a Mental Health Care Plan and referral to a psychologist or allied health professional
- Follow-up planning and ongoing GP review
Ongoing Mental Health Support
Mental health care is rarely a one-off appointment. Our GPs provide continuity of care, meaning you can build a relationship with a trusted mental health doctor in Baldivis who understands your history and can support you over time. Regular follow-up appointments allow your GP to review your progress, adjust your care plan, and ensure you remain connected to the right services.
Where mental health concerns are linked to physical health conditions — such as chronic pain, cardiovascular disease, hormonal changes, or other long-term health issues — our team can coordinate your care across both areas. You can explore our Chronic Disease Management services for more information on how we manage complex, ongoing health needs.
Our practice also provides a welcoming and inclusive environment for all members of the Baldivis community. We are a safe and affirming space for individuals from diverse backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQI+ community.
Why See a Mental Health GP in Baldivis?
A GP is often the most accessible first point of contact for mental health concerns. Unlike specialist referrals, you do not need to be on a waiting list to see your GP — you can book an appointment directly through our Appointments page or by calling the practice.
Your GP can provide immediate support and, where needed, connect you quickly with specialist care.
At Baldivis Family Medical Centre, our mental health GPs take a whole-person approach to your care. Mental health and physical health are deeply connected, and our team is well-placed to consider both when assessing your wellbeing. Whether you are seeking support for a specific diagnosis or simply not feeling like yourself, we are here to help.
We serve patients of all ages, including children, adolescents, adults, and older patients. For specific age-related concerns, you may also wish to explore our Children’s Health or Senior’s Health pages.
