The K10 is a standardised questionnaire used widely in Australian practice, including by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.1 It asks how often you’ve felt certain ways over the past four weeks and gives you a single score for psychological distress.

With a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, sessions are Medicare-rebated if you’re eligible — we process the rebate straight to your bank account.
