How can I renew it? The GP who wrote the plan for me does not work in that medical centre anymore. </P> Sat, 29 Jun 2019 09:32:07 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/treatments-health-professionals/how-to-renew-expired-mental-health-plan/m-p/449285#M11157 Nv1 2019-06-29T09:32:07Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/treatments-health-professionals/how-to-renew-expired-mental-health-plan/m-p/449286#M11158 Youre just going to need to go and get a new one from a different gp. They dont make you get too in depth with whats going on so it shouldnt trigger too much for you but if you feel it will, mention that to the gp before you start. They are there to help you...any gp will do a mental health plan, it doesnt have to be your regular one.
