Mental Health Care Plans (MHCP)

• 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.

  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.
