Taking the first step toward better mental health can feel overwhelming, but a GP consult for a Mental Health Care Plan makes it easier to access the right support. A mental health plan is designed to connect you with psychologists, counsellors, or other specialists, and allows you to claim Medicare rebates for eligible sessions—making care more affordable.
During your extended 30 minute consultation, our GP will take the time to discuss your mental health concerns, assess your needs, and work with you to create a personalised plan. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, or other challenges, a mental health plan ensures you receive ongoing, structured support to improve your wellbeing.
Dr Tessa Ward-Booth is a dedicated and compassionate GP with a strong focus on preventative and lifestyle healthcare. A Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, she combines evidence-based medicine with a holistic approach to support long-term wellbeing.
Tessa has a special interest in women’s health, particularly hormonal transitions such as perimenopause and menopause, and is known for her empathetic, patient-focused care.

During your 30 minute consult, we’ll explore your current mental health concerns, review your medical history, and discuss any relevant factors impacting your wellbeing. You’ll receive personalised recommendations, resources, and strategies to share with your GP or mental health professional, helping you take clear steps towards effective support and care.
We’ll email you a link to schedule your consult.
