Mental Health

Looking after your health includes not only your physical wellbeing but also your mental and emotional wellbeing.

What the Global Pandemic has shown us is just how important our mental health, and that of those we care most about, is. It can be so fragile and can affect every aspect of our lives, such as the way we think, our relationships, work and study.

Access to a competent and compassionate General Practitioner is crucial if you’re looking for effective management of your mental health or that of a loved one. At Healthcare on Collins, several of the General Practitioners have additional training in the management of mental health disorders and are dedicated to providing the care you need. Mental health disorders can remain relatively undetected, which is why it is crucial to consider them in your routine health checks.

In the event that you require additional support, General Practitioners can also provide referrals to Psychologists or Psychiatrists. They are knowledgeable about the Medicare subsidised Mental Health Treatment Plans and will advise you if you are eligible for them.

For initial mental health consultations, a 30-minute appointment is required so that your Practitioner can fully assess your needs. At Healthcare on Collins we believe that everyone deserves access to quality mental healthcare and we are committed to supporting you in your journey towards mental health wellness.

We truly understand that matters such as mental healthcare can be very sensitive and our friendly and supportive administration staff will always seek to manage any inquiries with the utmost respect. Please feel free to contact us directly on (03) 9650 4284 and our staff will schedule an appointment with the practitioner that will best suit your needs.
