Fortify Health Group provides a wide range of supports, including allied health, NDIS services and Multicultural Mental Health.
At Fortify Health Group, we prioritise accessible and affordable mental health care, which is why we’re excited to offer psychiatric services at our Springwood office.
Our skilled and compassionate psychiatrist, Dr Gilbert, is here to support you through life’s challenges and improve your mental well-being. Whether you’re facing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, or other mental health concerns, our team is ready to provide expert care and guidance.
Dr Gilbert collaborates with our multidisciplinary team to take a holistic approach to your care, offering comprehensive support from various allied health professionals and assisting with important documents like NDIS access request forms.
Please note: Dr Gilbert is not currently accepting referrals for ADHD medication management or diagnosis.
Unfortunately due to our current waitlist Dr Gilberts books are currently CLOSED.
Dr Gilbert’s books are currently closed to new referrals as of 01 July 2024. We want to ensure that current clients receive the best possible care, and that patients who are currently on our waitlist or who are searching for psychiatry services are not added to a waitlist indefinitely.
There is currently exceptionally high demand for psychiatry services across the greater Brisbane area. While we aim to book you in as soon as we can we currently expect that there is a 6 month wait for new patients.
Dr Gilbert currently offers bulk-billed initial assessment appointments for new patients, and offers follow up appointments with affordable out-of-pocket costs. For more information please view our fees.
Our team can help answer your questions or talk about your service needs. Simply call our friendly team on 07 3416 6660 or complete the form below, or one of our referral forms.
We support diversity in all its forms

Hi, I’m Merike.
I am a passionate and dedicated occupational therapist who completed my studies at the University of the Free State, South Africa. My journey in this field began during my Community Service year at a local clinic, where I gained experience in paediatrics, physical rehabilitation, and mental health. I transitioned to private practice, where I further enhanced my skills in physical rehabilitation, mental health, vocational rehabilitation, and hand therapy.
After moving to Australia, I expanded my expertise by working as an NDIS provider, supporting both paediatric and adult clients. This experience allowed me to make a meaningful impact on individuals with diverse needs, empowering them to achieve their goals and improve their quality of life.
I believe every individual has the right to a meaningful and fulfilling life, regardless of their capacity or potential. With a strong sense of responsibility and an eagerness to continually learn, I strive to provide compassionate, dignified care that empowers individuals to overcome challenges and reach their full potential.
Occupational therapy is more than a profession to me; it is a way to help people discover their strengths, regain function, and find purpose. Witnessing clients master new skills, regain independence, and experience an improved quality of life is the most rewarding part of my work.
Known for being friendly, empathetic, and caring, I am deeply committed to fostering connections within the community and creating opportunities for individuals to thrive.
