Our Services
Services
Getting the right kind of support starts with understanding what is available. At Mind Connections, psychiatrists and psychologists consult across two purpose-built clinics in Carlingford and Norwest, offering a broad range of specialist mental health services under one roof. Telehealth appointments are also available across NSW and Australia wide for eligible consultations.
Whether you are coming for the first time or have been managing a mental health condition for years, the services here are designed to meet you where you are.
Psychiatry
Psychiatrists at Mind Connections provide comprehensive assessment, diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions in adults. If you have been struggling and are not sure why, or if previous treatment has not delivered lasting results, a psychiatric assessment is often the right place to start. A referral from your GP is required, and Medicare rebates apply to eligible consultations.

ADHD Assessment & Treatment
A proper ADHD assessment is the essential first step for children, adolescents and adults who suspect attention, focus or impulsivity may be affecting their daily life. Assessments at Mind Connections are comprehensive, drawing on clinical interview, developmental history, rating scales and collateral information, and treatment planning covers both medication and non-medication strategies.

Geriatric Psychiatry
Mental health challenges in later life deserve the same specialist attention as physical ones. Psychiatrists at Mind Connections who specialise in the mental health of older adults assess and treat depression, anxiety, dementia-related behavioural symptoms, sleep disturbance, late-onset psychosis, and the complex interactions between ageing, physical health, medications and mental wellbeing.

TMS
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, non-medication brain stimulation treatment with a strong evidence base for treatment-resistant depression and other mental health conditions. Mind Connections offers MRI-guided TMS with advanced iTBS protocols at both Carlingford and Norwest. TMS is a highly innovative treatment and uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain activity. It can be particularly helpful for patients who have not responded to traditional treatments or medications. TMS is safe, therapeutic and well tolerated with generally minimal side effects. Because there is no sedation involved, you can drive yourself to and from each session. Medicare rebates apply for eligible patients.

Esketamine
For people who have tried multiple antidepressants without lasting relief, esketamine nasal spray (Spravato) offers a genuinely different pathway forward, working through a completely different mechanism to conventional medication and delivering rapid improvement where other treatments have fallen short.

Telehealth is available for all appointments, medication management and many therapy appointments across NSW and Australia, with the same Medicare rebates as the equivalent in-person consultation.
