Step by Step
How it works.

1
Before you begin
Get a Referral
Ask your GP or psychiatrist for a referral. This is required for Medicare eligibility under MBS 14217 for treatment-resistant depression.
Don't have a referral yet? Our team can support you in obtaining one through your existing treating practitioners. Contact us and we'll guide you through it.

Initial consultation
Psychiatry Assessment
Meet our psychiatrist to confirm suitability and design your personalised treatment plan. No two plans are the same — your history, symptoms, and goals shape the protocol.
This appointment also satisfies the Medicare requirement for a psychiatrist review prior to rTMS under MBS 14217.
3
Pre-treatment imaging
Brain MRI
Required before treatment begins. Your MRI enables our neuronavigation system to map your exact brain anatomy — so we stimulate the right circuit, not an estimate.
A specific structural MRI (T1 3D MPRAGE/SPGR) is required — standard diagnostic scans are not suitable for neuronavigation. Our team will provide the imaging request.
4
Active treatment
Begin Treatment
Sessions run approximately 20–40 minutes. No sedation. No medication. You are fully awake throughout and can leave immediately after — no recovery time required.
Standard protocols involve daily sessions over 4–6 weeks. Accelerated formats (multiple sessions per day) may also be available.
5
Ongoing monitoring
Track & Report
Throughout treatment, validated questionnaires (PHQ-9, GAD-7, DASS-10, DUKE) are completed every ~10 days. Your GP or psychiatrist receives structured reports at each milestone.
Reports are generated through our clinical platform (Mindwell) and dispatched automatically — your care team stays fully informed.
