Q. When does my Mental Health Care Plan expire? 

A. Essentially, a Mental Health Care Plan is valid for twelve (12) months but you must have a valid referral letter. At various points in your treatment process, your GP may review your GP MHTP (or MHCP) and update the plan according to any changes in your circumstances. Alternatively, your GP may simply provide you with an updated referral letter and maintain the original GP MHTP as appropriate.
