March Ahead General Mental HealthPsychiatry and psychology for adults across Australia

General Mental Health is March Ahead's psychiatry and psychology service for adults across Australia. It runs alongside our Veteran Mental Health service, with the same clinical team and standards, by secure Telehealth Australia-wide and in person at our East Brisbane clinic. It is privately billed, with Medicare rebates where eligible.

To see a psychiatrist you need a referral from your GP, which also lets you claim a Medicare rebate if you are eligible. For psychology, a GP referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan gives access to Medicare rebates under Better Access, or you can self-refer as a private client. If an insurer or employer has asked for an assessment, they will tell you how to book.

We are a private practice. Fees depend on the service and appointment length, and our intake team confirms the fee and any Medicare rebate or third-party funding before your appointment is booked. Medico-legal reports are billed to the instructing party.

Yes. Your treating clinicians work as one team and communicate directly, so medication and therapy are planned together and your GP is kept informed.

Appointments are by secure video. You receive a link before your appointment and need a device with a camera, microphone and a reliable internet connection. Nothing needs to be installed. In-person appointments are available at our East Brisbane clinic.

It depends on the service and the clinician. Contact our intake team for current availability.

Veterans and current or former ADF members usually have DVA-funded options, which are run through our veteran services. Start with our veteran pages, or call us and we will help you choose the right pathway.
