About this service
Specialist psychiatric medication review.
Independent specialist review of your current psychiatric medications for adults in Brisbane and across Queensland — by secure video, on AEST (no DST). We assess effectiveness, side effects, interactions and whether your current regimen still fits your diagnosis and stage of treatment.
Appointments run on AEST (no DST) and are scheduled to suit working Brisbane adults. You'll be seen by an AHPRA-registered psychiatrist; the written assessment goes back to your referring GP so care stays joined-up across Queensland.
