Unfortunately I am unable to assist with ....
Emergent and crisis referrals – We are unable to provide crisis intervention services, as we do not have the necessary 24-hour crisis intervention required for the appropriate and responsible treatment of these patients. Such individuals are more appropriately referred to the Townsville University Hospital, Acute Care Team, or other emergency crisis services.
Significant psychiatric referrals – I am unable to offer the coverage necessary to effectively or responsibly manage such cases, and these should be referred to the appropriate mental health services.
Assessments and reports for Parole, Court, Sex Offender treatment, etc. – I am unable to provide these psychological assessments under Medicare, and consequently, as a bulk billing practice, we do not offer these services under any circumstances.
Work Cover and Income Protection Claims
Medico-legal and Insurance Claim referrals – I am unable to provide these services under Medicare, and therefore, as we are a bulk billing practice, we do not provide these services under any circumstances.
National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) Assessments – Assessments for eligibility for NDIA, capacity assessments, positive behaviour support plans, etc., are not covered under Medicare and require specialised instruments to complete. While we may contribute to these assessments and/or provide conjoint treatment, we are unable to provide these assessments.
**** Cases fitting the above criteria, or who do not fit the current scope of service, will be referred back to the referring GP ****
