Compassionate, Confidential Mental Health Care

Looking after your mental health is just as important as caring for your physical health. At Terrey Hills Family Surgery, we provide comprehensive, patient-centred mental health care in a safe, respectful and confidential environment. Our GPs assess, diagnose and manage a broad range of mental health conditions, working with you to develop an individualised management plan based on your clinical needs, preferences and goals.

Where appropriate, we coordinate your care with psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals to support ongoing, evidence-based care.

Our Mental Health Services Include

  • Comprehensive mental health assessment
  • GP Mental Health Treatment Plans (Mental Health Care Plans), which may give you access to Medicare-subsidised sessions with a psychologist
  • Assessment and management of common mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression
  • Medication assessment and review
  • Brief psychological interventions within general practice
  • Referral to psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health services
  • Coordination of care with allied health and specialist providers
  • Suicide risk assessment and safety planning, where clinically indicated
  • Telehealth consultations, where appropriate

Supporting your Mental Wellbeing

Mental health is an important part of overall health and wellbeing. Our GPs recognise that emotional wellbeing is influenced by many factors, including physical health, relationships, work, sleep and life circumstances. We take a holistic approach, providing assessment, treatment and follow-up tailored to your individual needs.

Where appropriate, your GP may recommend lifestyle strategies, psychological therapies, medication, or referral to other healthcare professionals as part of a coordinated management plan. We encourage continuity of care with your regular GP to support ongoing review over time.

When booking a mental health appointment or care plan review, please ask our reception team for a longer appointment so your GP can give your concerns the time they deserve.

Book an appointment to discuss your mental health with one of our GPs in a confidential and supportive setting - call us on (02) 9450 1083 or book online.
