Learn how to build your ideal practiceWhy Psychiatrists Need a Professional Website
A well-designed website is essential for modern psychiatrists to attract patients, build trust, and grow their practice.
Help GPs Refer Appropriately
GPs often struggle to match patients with the right psychiatrist subspecialty. Clear communication of your areas of focus (e.g., adult ADHD, perinatal, addiction, older persons) helps GPs make better referrals and reduces inappropriate referrals.
Set Realistic Wait Time Expectations
With psychiatry wait times often 3-6+ months for non-urgent referrals, a clear website reduces phone calls asking about availability. Patients and GPs arrive informed about your triage process.
Communicate Fees Clearly
Medicare rebates vary significantly by consultation type and length. Clear fee information prevents surprised patients and awkward billing conversations after appointments.
Professional Referral Portal
Make it easy for GPs to refer correctly the first time with clear referral requirements, preferred referral methods, and information about what to include in the referral letter.
AHPRA-Compliant Presence
Mental health advertising has strict guidelines. We ensure your website meets AHPRA requirements while still effectively communicating your practice and approach.
Challenges Psychiatrists Face Online
We understand the unique challenges that psychiatrists face when building their online presence.
Managing Wait Time Expectations
With average wait times of 3-6+ months for non-urgent referrals, your website needs to clearly communicate availability, triage processes for urgent cases, and what patients should do while waiting.
Communicating Medicare Rebates
Patients and GPs need clarity on consultation types (initial vs review, standard vs extended) and out-of-pocket costs. Unclear billing information leads to awkward conversations and patients who cannot afford ongoing care.
Balancing Crisis Access with Sustainability
Many psychiatrists feel tension between genuine unmet need and maintaining sustainable practices. Your website can help by clearly communicating your triage process and directing crisis presentations appropriately.
Subspecialty Differentiation
From adult ADHD to perinatal mental health to addiction medicine—GPs need to know your focus areas to refer appropriately. Generic messaging attracts inappropriate referrals.
