Mental Health Care Plans (MHCP)

We here at Mens Toolbox strive to help all men (no matter what your financial position).

In Australia Medicare card holders can; after consultation with their GP; access a Medicare funded Mental Health Care Plan that can help with the cost of psychological intervention.

Please note, we are not a crisis support service. If your matter requires crisis support, please contact Lifeline Australia – 13 11 14 – Crisis Support. Suicide Prevention. If life is in danger, call 000 immediately.

What is a Mental Health Care Plan?
- A mental health care plan is for individuals experiencing symptoms of mental illness.
- A mental health care plan is organised through your preferred General Practitioner.
- A mental health care plan will provide 10 Medicare rebated sessions with a registered psychologist over a 12-month period.
- This means you can claim some of the costs of your sessions, making your sessions with us more affordable.
Who is eligible for a Mental Health Care plan?
- All Australian residents/citizens who hold a current Medicare card.
- You are only eligible for one mental health care plan per 12 months.
Why do I need a Mental Health Care Plan?
- In order to access Medicare rebates, you are required to obtain the Mental Health Care plan from your preferred GP.
How do I obtain a Mental Health Care Plan?

3 Simple Steps
1. After your initial consult with us here at Mens Toolbox, we can provide you with a letter for your GP requesting a MHCP for you OR, you can request the plan directly from your local GP.
2. Make a double appointment with your GP to allow time for them to write your plan. Give the letter of request to your GP & they will understand why you are there.
3. Your GP will send your referral to us and we can commence appointments using your MHCP.
