Dear patients of Michelle Eastwell:
We have an important notice, our Mental Health Nurse program is changing.
Why?
The mental health service provided by our Mental Health Nurse Michelle has been government funded by the NQPHN for almost a decade. As of 1st of July 2024, the program funding our service will no longer exist.
What does this mean for you?
We will still provide the same high standard of mental health care. Unfortunately, the changes mean that we must charge a small gap fee to continue the program.
The advantage of this is more flexibility in the supports Michelle can provide, without the constraints of data reporting and requirements that come with government programs.From 1st July 2024, all new and existing patients of our mental health service will need to attend an initial assessment appointment with Michelle to commence our new program.
Costs for our mental health service as of 1st July 2024:

To help during the transition period, we are waiving out-of-pocket fees for these mental health services for Michelle’s existing patients during the month of July.
