Mental Health Support in Werribee

Reaching out is often the hardest part. Some people come in after weeks of poor sleep. Others notice they have stopped enjoying things or feel on edge most of the time. Some aren’t sure what is wrong, only that something isn’t right. All of these are good reasons to see a GP.

Your doctor will listen and ask about what’s been happening, then work with you on a plan. That might be practical changes, a referral, medication, or a combination. Nothing is decided for you.

Mental Health Care Plans and Psychology

If you are experiencing a mental health condition such as anxiety or depression, your GP can prepare a Mental Health Care Plan. This allows you to claim Medicare rebates for up to 10 individual sessions with a psychologist or other eligible provider each calendar year.

We offer bulk-billed psychology on site through our partner Mind Allied Health. You can start working with a psychologist without travelling elsewhere or paying a gap. Your GP stays involved, reviews your progress and adjusts the plan as things change. Dr Zabih Ullah is one of our GPs with a particular interest in mental health.
