Frequently Asked Questions & Patient Guidance
Can I get a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) via telehealth?
Yes. An Australian GP can evaluate your symptoms during a telehealth appointment to prepare or review a Mental Health Treatment Plan. This plan allows you to claim Medicare rebates for visits to an accredited psychologist or mental health professional.
Can online GPs prescribe medication for anxiety or depression?
If clinically appropriate following a full assessment, GPs can prescribe standard anti-anxiety or antidepressant medications via eScript. Please note that Australian regulations prohibit the prescribing of Schedule 8 drugs or controlled addictive substances (such as benzodiazepines or stimulants) via telehealth.
How confidential is an online mental health consultation?
Your privacy is paramount. All telehealth appointments strictly comply with Australian privacy legislation and AHPRA medical confidentiality guidelines. Your clinical records are securely handled and never shared without your explicit consent.
Mental Health GP Australia – Bulk Billed Online Mental Health Care

Seeking help early can make a significant difference. NewTeleDoc Medical provides online GP consultations for mental health concerns, with bulk billing available for eligible Medicare patients where the service and patient meet the applicable Medicare requirements.
Australian Medicare rules allow certain mental health services, including eligible Mental Health Treatment Plans, to be provided through telehealth when clinically appropriate.
Bulk Billed Mental Health GP Australia
If you are looking for a bulk billed mental health GP in Australia, NewTeleDoc Medical can provide convenient online access to GP care.
Bulk billing means the doctor accepts the applicable Medicare benefit as full payment, so an eligible patient does not have an out-of-pocket consultation cost for that service. Whether a consultation can be bulk billed depends on Medicare eligibility, the specific service and the applicable billing requirements.
Our doctors can discuss your mental health concerns and determine the most appropriate next step.
