What are the benefits of enroling?

By enroling in the program, your private health insurer will fund appropriate community mental health treatment provided by Mindscope.

Treatment and support are delivered in different ways, depending on what best suits your situation, including: outreach (visits at home or in community settings); clinic appointments; telehealth and group activities.

The Mindscope suite of services are committed to providing you with the support you need, suited to your personal circumstances, based on best practice and making a real difference to your mental health recovery.

Can I keep going to my treating doctor?

If you are eligible to participate and you agree to enrol in the program, you can continue to see your own current treating health professional (if you have one).

If you do participate in the program, with your permission, Mindscope will notify your treating doctor of your participation in the program and request any clinical information that may be of assistance in developing your recovery support plan.

How do I enrol in the program?

Enrolling in the program is voluntary. You must have an active private health insurance policy to be eligible.

If you choose to enrol, you will be able to withdraw at any time during the program if you wish to do so.
