Welcome to Our GP Resource Hub for Mental Health Referrals

Welcome to your dedicated resource for streamlining psychology referrals. We’re here to support you in connecting your patients with the right support. Whether you’re preparing a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) or looking for guidance on the referral process for psychological therapy, this resource is here to help.

Referral Requirements for Mental Health Services

To ensure a smooth and timely intake process, please include the following details in your mental health referral letter:

  • Referring GP’s name, provider number, and clinic or medical practice details
  • Date of referral and GP’s signature
  • Number of sessions being referred (typically 6 sessions initially under a Mental Health Care Plan, with 4 additional sessions upon review)
  • Reason for referral, including presenting mental health symptoms and/or diagnosis 
  • A statement confirming that a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) has been prepared (please attach the MHCP if available) 
  • The patient’s full name, date of birth, and up-to-date contact information
     

Providing complete and accurate information helps us deliver prompt and effective psychological assessment and treatment.

How to Send Referrals to Affinity Therapy

We welcome mental health referrals via fax or emailβ€”both methods are accepted and secure.

  • Fax Referrals: Please include the appropriate area code to ensure successful transmission.
    Fax Number: (03) 9015 6476
     
  • Email Referrals: Referrals can also be submitted electronically to our secure inbox.

At Affinity Therapy, we strive to make the referral process for mental health services simple and efficient for GPs, allied health professionals, and mental health care providers.

Client Intake Process for Mental Health Services

We receive the client’s Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) and referral through fax, email, or directly from the client. Once we receive the referral, our intake team will contact your patient within 24 hours to begin the mental health intake process. Our objective is to schedule their initial therapy or counseling appointment within 2 to 4 weeks. After the client’s first mental health appointment, we will send you an update confirming their engagement with our services. Our streamlined intake and referral process ensures timely access to quality mental health care.
