When we receive your referral, it will be processed within 2-3 business days. We’ll reach out with any questions or issues.
We contact your patient to discuss fees, the appropriate clinician and appointment times. They see our clinicians from their own home, or at the GP practice if you prefer.
We provide you with feedback and treatment advice in writing within 7 days of the appointment.
For psychiatry appointments, send us a referral letter with the patient’s contact details (including email) + relevant history.

Wait times for adult psychiatry appointments are 1-4 weeks and 4-6 weeks for children & adolescents.
Ongoing psychiatry appointments are privately billed with reimbursements for patients with a Medicare card. Typical out-of-pocket expenses range from $300-400 for initial appointments and $150-250 for ongoing reviews.
From 1/11/2022 we are again able to offer bulk billed one off assessments (291s) to patients in rural areas (MM2-7). We will need a referral specifically requesting a 291. Please note this does not apply to ongoing, ADHD or report assessments.
We are now accepting a limited number of NSW referrals to the Call to Mind ADHD Assessment Pathway, see here for more details.

– Patient contact details
– Referral question
– Psychiatric and medical history
– Medication list
– Physical exam (BP, HR and cardiovascular exam)
– An acknowledgement that you will be available to take over prescribing of any medications once stabilised
