What We Do
What Does Our Mental Health Team Do?
Our team supports you with assessment, therapy skills and follow-up that fits your goals. We focus on clear communication, trauma-informed pacing when needed, and practical planning so care feels manageable for individuals, families and busy professionals.
Psychologists and collaborative care
Evidence-based counselling alongside GP input when medications, mental health care plans or medical monitoring need a doctor's review.
Anxiety, depression and mood concerns
Support for worry, low mood and stress with strategies you can use between visits, adjusted as your symptoms and circumstances change.
Trauma-informed approaches
Sensitive care that prioritises safety and consent, with transparent discussion about pacing, boundaries and when specialised services may suit you best.
Same-building GP and allied support
Because 1st Health Hub brings general practice and allied health together, coordination can be simpler when you need both medical and psychological support.
What Is Mental Health Care?
Mental health care can include assessment, therapy, skills training and follow-up for emotional wellbeing. The right approach depends on your history, symptoms and goals, which is why treatment plans are personalised rather than one-size-fits-all.
At 1st Health Hub we aim to make support accessible: we explain your options at a general information level, discuss privacy and consent clearly, and involve your GP when medical aspects of care need review.
If you are unsure where to start, book an appointment and our team can discuss next steps. If you are in immediate danger or crisis, call 000 or your local crisis service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Mental Health at 1st Health Hub
Everything you need to know before your first appointment.
Our team is happy to help. Give us a call or send us a message and we will get back to you promptly.
Do I need a referral to see a psychologist?
A referral is not always required, but a mental health care plan from a GP may reduce your out-of-pocket costs when you are eligible. If you are unsure, book a discussion and we can guide you.
What concerns can mental health care help with?
Common reasons people seek help include anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma reactions, sleep disruption and major life changes. If your needs sit outside our scope, we will discuss appropriate alternatives.
How do GPs and psychologists work together here?
When clinically appropriate, your psychologist and GP can coordinate care plans, medications and monitoring. You choose what is shared, within legal and safety limits we will explain at your visit.
Can I book evenings or weekends?
Yes. The clinic is open seven days, and we offer appointments across the week including evenings and weekends, subject to availability.
What should I expect in a first appointment?
Your clinician will explain confidentiality, ask what you hope to change, and outline realistic next steps. You do not need to share everything in the first session if you are not ready.
Is mental health care confidential?
Yes, within normal professional and legal standards. There are limited exceptions where risk requires action; these are explained before care begins so you can make informed choices.
Do you support trauma or PTSD?
Many people seek help after distressing events. We use trauma-informed principles and will discuss whether our service is the right fit or if a specialised program suits you better.
Can I book online?
Yes. You can book online for a time that suits you, or call 0469 091 413 if you prefer to speak with our team first.
