Access mental health treatment

  • Contact your local GP practice for a telehealth appointment
    They’ll be able to provide you with a mental health care plan and referral to a private psychologist. Psychologists in Australia are currently providing support by phone or video. Clients with a health care card or at risk of contracting COVID-19 are eligible for 10 bulk billed sessions

  • Contact your local community health centre
    Community health centres are still running, with most providing telehealth options. Eligibility for services vary, but you’ll need to live in the same local government area as the centre.

  • For crises or severe mental health issues
    The Crisis Assessment and Treatment Team (CATT team) and hospital inpatient and outpatient programs are still running. Triage numbers for each state can be found at: https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/crisis-management
