    Why online psychologist sessions work.

    Whether you're commuting down the range, working on the land, or raising a family in town, online sessions mean support without the drive or the wait.

    Online sessions take those barriers out of the way:

    • No commute, no waiting room. Sessions start at your time, from wherever you are.
    • Same-week first session. Most clients see a psychologist within seven days.
    • Evening and weekend slots. Easier to fit around work, family, and study.
    • The same evidence. Research consistently shows that for most conditions, online therapy is as effective as in-person.
    • AEST (no daylight saving). Sessions adjust to your local time, so a 7pm appointment is actually 7pm your time.

    Three steps

    How to start.

    Most clients have their first session within the same week.

    1

    Book a GP appointment

    Ask your GP for a mental health consultation. A longer appointment gives you time to talk through what's going on.

    What do I do at the GP?
    2

    Get your plan and referral

    Your GP can prepare a Mental Health Treatment Plan and signed referral. MeHelp needs both before bulk-billed sessions can begin.

    Send it to MeHelp

    Upload your documents to our secure folder, email them, or ask your GP to fax. We'll match you with a psychologist and book your first session.

    Pricing

    With a referral, or without.

    Both get you to the same place — an AHPRA-registered psychologist, online. The difference is cost and a GP visit.

    Local support in and around Toowoomba.

    Toowoomba is in Darling Downs and West Moreton PHN, the Primary Health Network covering Stanthorpe and Texas to Ipswich, Proston and Taroom. The Toowoomba urban area had 142,163 people at the 2021 Census.

    The PHN runs Wattle House Toowoomba, which it describes as a welcoming place for people in the Toowoomba region to access person-centred mental health and wellbeing supports. It is walk-in friendly and currently operates from an interim site in Toowoomba City; the PHN notes that it is not a crisis service. No Medicare Mental Health Centre is listed in Toowoomba itself; elsewhere in the PHN region there are centres at Kingaroy and Ipswich, and an interim centre at Warwick. headspace Toowoomba is the local centre for young people.

    Queensland's 24/7 mental health access line is the statewide way to reach a public mental health service near the caller. An online psychologist can be added to this local support rather than replacing it. A Toowoomba GP can remain your main doctor, Wattle House offers a place to go in person, headspace is there for a young person in the family, and a MeHelp psychologist can meet you by video for ongoing therapy. Because Wattle House is not a crisis service, please use the crisis contacts on this page if you need urgent help.
