What is a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP): A MHCP is a referral provided by your GP to facilitate access to mental health support. Through a MHCP, eligible patients can access up to 10 Medicare-subsidised psychology sessions per calendar year.
Who is eligible: Your GP can access your eligibility for a MHCP. Those who qualify can receive a MHCP once every 12 months, entitling them to 10 rebateable sessions. After the initial 6 sessions, a review with your GP is required to access further four sessions.
Who is not Eligible: Patients who do not have a valid Medicare card, or patients who have already obtained a MHCP in the last 12 months are not eligible for a MHCP. After 12 months has lapsed, patients with Medicare can visit their GP to get anew plan.
How to Get a Mental Health Care Plan: Book a ‘Mental Health Care Plan’ with your regular GP. It is essential to continue seeing your usual GP for the initial MHCP and any subsequent reviews to maintain continuity of care.
Taking care of your mental health is an essential part of overall health. You deserve to feel supported and empowered in seeking the care that you need.
