Why GPs trust Mindplace:
1. Seamless Continuity of Care
Mindplace works in partnership with GPs, not in isolation. Our psychologists collaborate with referring practitioners to ensure continuity and alignment with Mental Health Treatment Plans (MHTPs), supporting better patient outcomes.
2. Accessible to All Australians
Mindplace clinics are open to everyone—Bupa members and non-members alike. Referring your patients won’t affect their insurance premiums or eligibility.
3. Expert Matching & Tailored Support
Patients can select care from our experienced team of psychologists with varied specialisations and backgrounds, whose expertise aligns with their specific needs. This ensures targeted, effective care—whether it's CBT, mindfulness, or talking therapy.
4. Easy access and bookings
Mindplace offers flexible appointment options including in-person or video call consultations, ideal for patients in rural areas or with mobility constraints. Patients can self-serve via our online booking platform or talk to our team to be matched with a psychologist best suited to their needs. Patients choose how they want to connect with a psychologist and can book with any of our team across Australia. Appointments usually available within 48 hours.
5. Affordable Care Options
Cost is a major barrier to mental health care. Mindplace offers transparent pricing: $245 for a 50-minute session before any rebates.
New and existing Bupa customers get 20% off psychology services for the rest of 2025*
