Understanding Mental Health and Support Options
Feeling sad, anxious, or overwhelmed from time to time is part of life, but when these feelings last for more than two weeks, it may be a sign of a deeper concern such as depression. In Australia, around one in seven people experience depression during their lifetime, and it can affect both mental and physical health. Recognising the signs early and seeking help is an important step toward improving mental wellbeing.
Mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, or stress-related issues can be discussed with a GP in a confidential setting. Doctors can provide initial support, create mental health care plans, and connect patients with psychologists, psychiatrists, or counsellors. These services may be available locally or via telehealth, depending on your preferences and needs, and can help ensure the right mix of ongoing care.
Under the Medicare Benefits Schedule, eligible patients can access subsidised sessions with mental health professionals through a GP-issued care plan. Additional information and 24/7 support are available from trusted services such as
Beyond Blue and
Headspace
and
Lifeline, which focus on early intervention and mental wellbeing for individuals and their families.
