Mental Health Issues

At Queen’s Park Medical Centre, our team isn’t just here to look after your physical health.  We’re ready to help you with all aspects of your mental health too.

Our GPs are understanding and tactful and want nothing more than for all patients to live full and happy lives.  We offer diagnosis and treatment for various mental health conditions. Additionally, we can point you in the direction of further support if you need it.

You can expect your mental health assessment to cover some or all of the following:

  • How you’re feeling
  • Your actions and thoughts
  • Your mental health symptoms
  • Alcohol and drug use
  • Yours and others’ safety
  • Your physical well being and health
  • Home life
  • Relationships
  • Current medications
  • Experience of any similar problems
  • Your culture and background

It may help you to write down your symptoms and feelings before you attend your appointment and bear in mind that you only need to open up about what you’re comfortable with.

If you are struggling or experiencing a personal crisis, our caring, non-judgmental and devoted Telephone Crisis Support volunteers are here for you 24/7. Call Lifeline on 13 11 14

Saturday Private Billing

To Our Valued Patients:

 

After much deliberation, we at Queens Park Medical Centre have deemed it necessary to introduce full private billing for Saturday appointments. This will take effect from 5th April. Previously bulk billed patients (children 15 and under, pension card holders, health care card holders, DVA card holders and Commonwealth Seniors card holders) and patients who hold an overseas student health cover with partnered insurance companies, will be expected to pay a minimum of $40 out of pocket gap fee.

 

This decision has not been made lightly and is largely because Medicare Rebates have not kept up with inflation and the rise in costs. Since 2018, Medicare rebates have increased on average by 1.3% annually whilst inflation has been at a much higher level.

 

We understand this may affect our patients. Therefore, we thank you for your ongoing support and trust that these changes will help us continue to provide you with quality healthcare. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions of concern.
