  1. Level 2 - Low Intensity

    Low Intensity

    Although brief, level 2 services include some direct contact with a mental health professional. You may also see therapists, coaches or social workers. There will be options to access these services via telehealth, face to face or over the phone. At this level, you should only need a few sessions or engagements before you start to feel more empowered to manage your mental health.

  2. Level 3 - Moderate Intensity

    Moderate Intensity

    This level involves more frequent contact with a professional to help with your mental distress. Access to these services will generally require a referral from your GP or other mental health professional. Your referral will include a mental health treatment plan that assists the mental health professional (psychologists, mental health social worker, etc.) to provide personalised support to you over a period of time that works best for you.
