- advise participants:
- to contact the GPMHSC by phone or email to ensure their provider number is on record (this speeds up their eligibility to claim the item numbers)

- that it might take up to six weeks after they complete the reinforcing component for them to receive this confirmation.
- update each GP’s training records with the RACGP and/or ACRRM, so that the GPMHSC can accurately report this information to Medicare.
