Medicare referrals
A signed referral and the relevant plan.
For Better Access, include a signed and dated referral with the client’s name, date of birth, address, symptoms or diagnosis, current medications, number of services and relevant plan details. A mental health treatment plan alone is not a referral.
Check services already used and the applicable usual-GP or MyMedicare pathway. For an eligible initial course, up to six individual services can be referred; subsequent courses use the remaining entitlement, up to ten individual services in the calendar year.

WA referral update · 19 October 2026
MindSpot GP changes from 31 October
From 31 October 2026, new MindSpot GP referrals in WA move to MindSpot's national service and fax referrals cease. The linked ORS face-to-face service stops accepting new patients. Existing patients can complete their current course before that service closes on 31 March 2027.
MindSpot's national assessment and treatment remain free online and by phone, with no GP referral or Mental Health Treatment Plan needed. GPs can also refer through MindSpot's online form or secure messaging.
For patients seeking private face-to-face therapy or continuity with a senior clinical psychologist, Axis offers care with Brent in Perth CBD and by telehealth. The standard fee and Medicare gap are set out above. Axis is an independent private practice and is not part of the MindSpot or ORS funded service.
Reports and communication
Brent communicates directly with referrers when clinically indicated. Updates address the referral question and cover assessment, treatment, clinically relevant change, risk and the plan.
For Better Access referrals, a written report is provided to the referring practitioner after each course of treatment and when treatment ends early. Additional letters and third-party reports have a separately agreed purpose, scope, consent, timing and any applicable fee.
Common questions
Referral timing and professional communication.
How soon can a new GP referral be seen?
Axis has capacity to offer a first appointment within five business days for new GP referrals. The patient can choose a later appointment if preferred. Appointments are with Brent Munro in Perth CBD or by telehealth, with ongoing appointment needs discussed when booking.
What will the patient pay?
A standard individual consultation is $280 for 50 minutes. For eligible in-person or video consultations, the current Medicare benefit is $149.05, leaving a usual gap of $130.95. Referral requirements and remaining Medicare services must be checked. Axis confirms fees or approved third-party funding with the patient before booking.
Does the online referral replace the Mental Health Treatment Plan?
No. The GP prepares and records the Mental Health Treatment Plan in their clinical system. The online form creates the separate signed and dated Better Access referral, with patient details, symptoms, medications, plan status and number of services. A treatment plan alone is not a referral.
Can I just send documents I have already prepared?
Yes. Choose Upload existing documents and send your referral or treatment plan without completing the online referral fields. Axis checks the documents and will follow up if a signed referral or other required information is missing. You can also email info@axispsych.com.au directly.
Does the client need to wait for the referral before contacting Axis?
No. The client can contact Axis first to choose a format and arrange an appointment. A valid referral is generally required before claiming a Medicare rebate.
When will the referral be acknowledged?
Axis acknowledges receipt and makes the first contact attempt within one business day. With the patient's consent, the referring practice is advised when an appointment is booked, the patient declines, or contact cannot be established after follow-up.
How are updates handled?
Brent provides a written report after each Better Access course and when treatment ends before the course is completed. Reports cover assessment, treatment and recommendations. Other communication follows the clinical purpose and consent arrangements.
