- Psychological conditions are amoung the most commonly reported reason for GP presentations.
- In 2020/21, 76,131 patients visited a GP for mental health concerns on the Gold Coast.
- 65% increase in GP-provided mental health services in the last 6 years.

- Around 11,000 presentations per year to Emergency Departments for mental and behavioural disorders.
- Between 2019 and 2021, 258 residents lost their lives to suicide. The region’s suicide rate is lower than the Queensland average but higher than the national rate.
- There are three regions within the Gold Coast with rates of mental health overnight hospitalisations per 100,000 people above the national rate.
“The Gold Coast rate for allied health mental health services per 100 people (30.8) was above the national rate (23.6) in 2018-19 (Table 2). All Gold Coast SA3 regions were above the national rate in 2018-19 claiming Allied Health Mental Health services. Gold Coast Hinterland SA3 region had the highest rate per 100 people (36.4) while Surfers Paradise had the least on the Gold Coast (25.8) claimed per 100 people. Although Gold Coast Hinterland had the highest number of allied health mental health services per 100 people, the total number of services claimed was 7,167, while Ormeau-Oxenford had 43,505 services claimed in the same period.” (Gold Coast Primary Health Network Needs Assessment 2020)
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ National Study of Mental Health and Wellbeing conducted between 2020 and 2022, approximately 21.5% of Australians experienced a mental disorder in the previous 12 months.
These statistics underscore the growing demand for mental health services in the Gold Coast area and highlight the importance of timely mental health support. The demand for psychologists has never been greater, as mental health challenges continue to rise across all demographics. Psychologists play a crucial role in early diagnosis, psychological therapy, and tailored treatment plans, reducing reliance on emergency services and improving overall well-being. By addressing the region’s growing mental health needs, we can provide essential support, fostering resilience and improving quality of life for individuals and families.
