Our approach

Comprehensive assessment and individualised care.

We emphasise thorough clinical assessment and evidence-based practice. Our clinicians consider your psychiatric history, current symptoms, personal circumstances and functional needs to inform appropriate clinical recommendations and, where relevant, an individualised treatment plan developed collaboratively with you.

Flexible access

Australia-wide Telehealth and in-person consultations.

We provide secure Telehealth consultations across Australia, improving access to specialist psychiatric and psychological services for people in metropolitan, regional and remote communities. In-person consultations are also available at our Brisbane practice, subject to clinician availability and clinical suitability.

Collaborative care

Psychiatrists and psychologists working collaboratively.

Where clinically appropriate, our psychiatrists and psychologists collaborate with your GP and other treating health professionals to support continuity of care. With your consent, relevant clinical information may be shared to inform treatment planning, medication management, psychological interventions and ongoing clinical review.

Professional standards

Commitment to ethical practice and professional accountability.

Our clinicians practise in accordance with the professional, ethical and regulatory standards set by Ahpra and the relevant professional bodies. Our psychiatrists hold specialist qualifications in psychiatry, and independent medico-legal assessments are conducted with professional objectivity and appropriate separation from treating roles.

Frequently asked questions

About March Ahead and choosing the right service.

Can't find what you need? Call +61 7 3435 1513 or email intake@marchahead.com.au.

What is March Ahead?
March Ahead is a clinical psychiatry and psychology practice. We see people mainly by secure Telehealth across Australia, with an in-person clinic in East Brisbane, through two services: Veteran Mental Health and General Mental Health.
Which service is right for me?
If you are a veteran, a current or former ADF member, or helping one, start with Veteran Mental Health. Everyone else can use General Mental Health. If you are not sure, use Find your pathway or call us and we will work it out with you.
How are the two services funded?
Veteran Mental Health: DVA-funded care and DVA-requested reports have no out-of-pocket cost, and privately funded veteran reports are quoted before booking. General Mental Health: privately billed, with Medicare rebates where eligible. Fees are confirmed before anything is booked.
Do I need a referral?
To see a psychiatrist you usually need a referral from your GP. Psychology can be accessed with a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan or by self-referral. Independent assessments requested by DVA need a Treatment Reference Number rather than a referral.
How does Telehealth work?
Appointments are by secure video. You receive a link before your appointment and need a device with a camera, microphone and a reliable internet connection. Nothing needs to be installed. In-person appointments are available at our East Brisbane clinic.
Is March Ahead an emergency service?
No. If you need urgent help, call 000, go to your nearest emergency department, or call Lifeline on 13 11 14. Veterans and families can also call Open Arms on 1800 011 046, any time.

Not sure which service you need?

Call our intake team. We will work out the right service, funding and next steps with you before anything is booked.
