What a plan can include

Every plan is different. Depending on what your doctor finds, yours might include:

  • A clear explanation of your options
  • Natural therapies, where your doctor considers them clinically appropriate
  • How to use any treatment safely, and what to expect
  • Follow-up consults to check how it’s going and adjust
  • A summary for your regular GP, if you’d like one

A consultation doesn’t guarantee any particular treatment. Eligibility is decided by your doctor after a consultation.

Common questions

Do I need to have tried other treatments first?

Generally, yes. Alternative therapies are usually considered when symptoms have lasted three months or more and standard treatments haven’t helped enough, or have caused side effects. Your doctor will ask what you’ve tried.

Is it suitable for everyone?

No. Some mental health histories mean an alternative therapy isn’t appropriate. Your doctor will ask about yours and tell you plainly.

Does this replace seeing a psychologist?

No. If you’re seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist, keep going, and tell your doctor here about it.

What if I need help right now?

Call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636, any time. In an emergency, call 000.

Will I definitely be offered treatment?

No. A consultation doesn’t guarantee any particular treatment. Your doctor recommends what’s clinically appropriate for you, and sometimes that means no treatment through us.
