Unsure where to start?
Talk to a GP you trust
Gen recommends starting with a GP who makes you feel comfortable and takes your concerns seriously. Whether the appointment is for you or your child, a GP can check whether physical health might be contributing, suggest local services and help you work out the next step.
If you are eligible, ask about a Mental Health Treatment Plan and a referral for Medicare rebates on sessions with a psychologist or another eligible practitioner.
