For adults already living with a diagnosis, or those whose GP needs specialist input to keep treatment on track. We do the initiation and review. Your GP keeps prescribing.
Our model
Specialist initiation, then GP-led continuation. The clinic is built around shared care so your medication and review stay close to home, with us in the loop and not in the way.
Conditions we treat
Depression, including long-term, recurring, or treatment-resistant. Diagnosis, medication, and ongoing review.
Generalised anxiety, panic, social anxiety, and OCD. When medication management benefits from specialist input.
Bipolar I, Bipolar II, and related conditions. Diagnosis, mood stabilisation, and ongoing review.
Ongoing care for adults already diagnosed with ADHD. Medication, review, and shared care with your GP.
Assessment and treatment for trauma and PTSD. We coordinate with psychology when therapy is part of the plan.
A full review of your current psychiatric medications. We send a written plan back to your GP.
Shared care model
Once treatment is stable, ongoing prescriptions go through your GP. We review with you every 3–6 months, write to your GP after each visit, and stay available between reviews for clinical questions.
Telehealth
Your first appointment is preferably in person at our Melbourne clinic. Once we know you, review consultations can be telehealth across Victoria, which makes ongoing care viable for regional patients and saves a half-day off work for everyone else.
Mental health nursing
Our mental health nurse practitioner runs the intake call, gathers background, and stays available for care coordination, follow-up and questions between psychiatry reviews.
No referral required
Mental health nursing appointments are open access. You don't need a referral to book one. A referral is only needed if you'd like to see the psychiatrist or claim a Medicare rebate for the psychiatry consult itself.
