Mental Health Support in Armstrong Creek — Practical, Confidential GP Care
Mental health affects every part of your life. At Armstrong Creek Doctors, we take it seriously.
Our GPs provide mental health support for patients of all ages in a private, non-judgmental setting. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, ongoing stress, or simply not feeling right, talking to your GP is a practical and important first step.
How Your GP Can Help
Your GP is often the most accessible starting point for mental health care. At Armstrong Creek Doctors, we can assess your needs, create a care plan, refer you to the right professionals, and support you over the long term, all within your regular GP clinic.
Mental Health Assessment
Your GP will take the time to understand what you have been going through, how long it has been happening, how it is affecting your day-to-day life, and what kind of support would help most. Your consultation is fully confidential and there is no pressure to have all the answers.
Mental Health Care Plan
If appropriate, your GP can prepare a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) under Medicare, giving you access to up to 10 subsidised sessions per year with a psychologist, social worker, or occupational therapist. It is a practical way to make professional mental health support more affordable and accessible.
Referrals to Psychologists & Counsellors
Our GPs can connect you with local mental health professionals based on your individual needs and circumstances.
Ongoing Mental Health Management
Ongoing support can be an important part of managing your mental health. Our GPs offer regular follow-up appointments to check in on your progress, review your care plan, and adjust your support as things change.
Postnatal Depression & Anxiety
Postnatal depression and anxiety affect many new mothers, and support is available. If you have recently had a baby and are struggling emotionally or mentally, please reach out to our team. Our GPs will listen, assess, and help connect you with appropriate support.

- Anxiety and panic disorders

What to Expect at Your Appointment
Your consultation will be private, relaxed, and unhurried. Your GP will ask questions to get a clear picture of what you are experiencing and talk through the options with you honestly. There is no pressure, it is simply a conversation to work out what support is right for you.
