This form is for GPs and Service Providers only. Alternatively, consumers and parents or caregivers can refer themselves using our self-referral e-form. Note, at GPH we use the term consumer to refer to the children, young people, adults and families and carers that use our mental health, suicide prevention and alcohol and other drug services.
Please note that all GPH Mental health and alcohol and other drug programs are voluntary. We will not accept referrals without the consumer's (or their parent/caregiver’s) consent. Is the consumer (or their parent/caregiver) aware of and has agreed to a referral to GPH?
If the consumer is currently experiencing an acute risk of harm or suicidal crisis needing immediate and acute services, please contact the Mental Health Line on 1800 011 511 or Emergency Services on triple zero (000).
In addition, GP’s requesting services via a mental health treatment plan (MHTP) are to email/fax the MHTP directly to the relevant program. Contact details of all our programs can be found at https://www.gph.org.au/services/mental-health/.
Note that our referral forms are based on the Australian Government Initial Assessment and Referral Decision Support Tool (IAR-DST) domains for mental health. GPH mental health programs use this tool to gather initial information and determine suitability. Completing this referral form is different from the initial assessment we will undertake. The scoring utilised is to simplify the referral process and will not impact service delivery.
The relevant program will acknowledge and process your referral as soon as possible.
