General Practitioners (GPs) are invited to attend a free webinar on Medicare Mental Health Check In, a new online mental health service designed to support people experiencing mild mental health challenges.
What is Medicare Mental Health Check In?
The service helps people build practical skills, confidence and improve their mental health through evidence-based Low-intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (LiCBT).
The service is designed to complement existing mental health and wellbeing services. It provides early intervention support for people experiencing mild mental health challenges and can serve as an additional support option while helping to manage waitlists and demand on more acute services.
Free GP webinar
The webinar will provide an overview of the service and help GPs better understand patient suitability, referral pathways and how the service fits within the broader mental health system.
It will cover:
- how Medicare Mental Health Check In works
- which patients may benefit from the service
- the evidence behind LiCBT
- referral pathways and integration with clinical care
- patient safety, privacy and risk management processes
- practical examples and patient journey insights.
The session will also include a live Q&A focused on referral pathways and integration with general practice.
Date: Wednesday, 18 November 2026
Time: 11am-12pm
Can’t attend live? Everyone registered for the webinar will receive a recording of the session, plus a follow-up Q&A.
