Contact Dr Robert Dawborn

  • Refer Yourself

    Patients can self-refer or be referred by their GP or Psychiatrist.

    Dr. Dawborn sees patients with a wide range of mental health concerns - including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, substance misuse, personality disorders, PTSD and complex PTSD.

  • Appointments

    In many cases, about six to twelve appointments are appropriate.

    Longer term issues will need more time – for example, entrenched patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving, impacting your everyday life.

    Concessional patients will reach the extended medicare safety net (EMSN) in 6-8 consultations.

    Non-concessional patients will reach the extended medicare safety net (EMSN) in 18-21 consultations

  • Unlimited Medicare Rebates

    Patients requiring longer term psychotherapy can have continuing unlimited consultations under Medicare. This is because Dr Dawborn is a GP.

    Patients having brief or long term psychotherapy can also be seen under a Mental Health Care Plan.

    All personal therapy appointments are for 50 minutes. Couple sessions are for 60 minutes.
