What we help with

Specialist psychiatric care for adults

Our psychiatrists assess, diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, and work with your GP, psychologist and other treating clinicians to support your care over time.

Conditions we treat

Your appointments

What to expect

1

Initial appointment

A 45 to 60 minute assessment. Your psychiatrist talks with you about your symptoms, history and goals, and starts working with you on a treatment plan.

2

Follow-up appointments

Standard (20 minutes) or extended (30 minutes) reviews to check your progress, adjust treatment and review any medication.

3

Working with your GP

We keep your GP and referring doctor informed. Where it suits your care, your GP can continue your treatment once you’re stable.

Wait times are estimates and change with psychiatrist availability. See current wait times.

Live in a rural or remote area?

Eligible patients living in Modified Monash Model 2–7 locations, including Department of Veterans’ Affairs card holders, may be able to have a bulk-billed psychiatric assessment (MBS Item 291). Check your eligibility.
