Psychiatry referrals
Our psychiatrist, Dr Steph Dimitrieski, sees adults aged 18 and over, predominantly via telehealth, with limited face-to-face appointments available in Mansfield.
Recognising the importance of allowing time to establish a therapeutic relationship, discuss treatment options and begin supporting meaningful change, Steph will generally work with new patients over an initial series of three appointments.
Where a one-off assessment and management plan under Medicare item 291 is clinically appropriate, you can note in the referral something to the effect of "for assessment and management under item 291 if appropriate", and Steph can determine the most suitable approach at the time of consultation.
Steph provides psychiatric assessment and treatment for a range of psychological and mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, adjustment difficulties, complex trauma and PTSD, diagnostic clarification, and medication review and management.
Our psychiatry service is currently not accepting referrals for substance use disorders, eating disorders, ADHD assessments, medicolegal reports, or primary age-related conditions such as dementia.
