SNPHN Approved ATAPS Providers
Referral process
GPs who have conducted a mental health treatment plan and considered that ATAPS is the most suitable program for the client must:
1. Ring the ATAPS referral line 1300 782 391 for approval. It is preferable to ring at the time of the consultation.
Please have on hand the following details regarding the patient:
- Initials
- Date of birth
- Residential postcode
- Indigenous or Torres Strait Islander status
- Name of the approved preferred Mental Health Professional (ATAPS provider)
2. A unique patient identification number (PIN) will be provided and must be entered into the referral form.
3. Patients are required to sign the referral form (bottom of page) showing their consent for sharing of this information with both the AHP and the SNPHN (de-identified information only)
4. The completed referral form and current mental health treatment plan must be faxed or securely emailed directly to the AHP.
Note: Referrals into the general ATAPS program are valid for six sessions. If further sessions are required the GP must review the case and contact the ATAPS referral line 1300 782 391 for a new Patient Identification Number.
Please have ready the patient’s original PIN or VS number if you are ringing for re-referral
