Collaborative Psychiatry & Specialist Mental Healthcare
Working alongside patients, GPs, and allied health teams through structured care pathways that support continuity, communication, and ongoing treatment.
Consultation Options
We offer flexible consultation options to remove barriers to specialist mental healthcare.
Telehealth
All of our clinicians offer secure video consultations via telehealth. You can attend your appointment from anywhere in Queensland — at home, at work, or wherever suits you best.
A stable internet connection and a private space are all you need. Our team will send a secure link before your appointment.
In-person
We are opening a face-to-face consulting space in Brisbane. In-person appointments will be available for patients who prefer to attend in clinic, alongside our telehealth offering.
Details about our Brisbane location and in-person availability will be confirmed ahead of opening. Register your interest via email.

Your journey with us
From referral to discharge
No matter which pathway you are on, every patient at Shama Health follows the same journey. Here is the complete picture — from your GP sending a referral through to being discharged back to their care.
GP referral received
Your GP sends a referral letter to admin@shamahealth.com.au. The referral should include your reason for referral, relevant history, current medications, and your contact details. Our admin team acknowledges receipt within 1 business day.
Not accepted
- The referral is outside our clinical scope
- The patient requires a higher level of care
- We are at capacity for this pathway
Your GP will be notified and alternative options will be suggested.
Accepted
Your referral is matched to the most appropriate clinician based on your needs and their areas of expertise.
Intake forms completed
Once accepted, our team emails you a set of intake questionnaires. Complete them at your own pace and return by email — there is no deadline, but earlier return allows us to book your appointment sooner.
We call to book your appointment
Once your forms are received, our admin team calls you to schedule your first appointment at a time that suits you.
Initial nurse practitioner assessment
Your first appointment is with our nurse practitioner. This session gathers a full clinical history and prepares a summary for the consulting psychiatrist.
Psychiatrist consultation
You meet with your allocated psychiatrist for a comprehensive assessment. A diagnosis and management plan is formulated during or after this appointment.
Ongoing care and review
Your care plan is tailored to your needs. Review appointments are scheduled regularly to monitor progress, adjust medications, and provide ongoing support.
Discharge back to GP
When your treatment goals have been met, your psychiatrist prepares a discharge summary and transitions your ongoing care back to your GP. You remain welcome to re-refer in the future.
