GP education and training
The General Practice Mental Health Standards Collaboration (GPMHSC) is the body responsible for setting the standards and accrediting training in mental health for GPs.
The GPMHSC recommends GPs undertake training programs that refresh and broaden their undergraduate and prevocational skills and knowledge.
GPs can achieve two levels of accredited mental health training, each correlating with specific sets of MBS item numbers. The next page covers the range of accredited training available to GPs in mental health care and how it links with the Stepped Care Model.
