Welcome to Doctor in a Box.
We are an Australia-wide independent mental health service, dedicated to providing targeted specialist mental health assessment, treatment planning, review and medication management to all individuals living in remote areas, regardless of cultural background, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or age.
Our aim is to engage with local services to maximise supports, but also to encourage and support personal freedom and agency.
Both specialists trained as medical practitioners, general psychiatrists and then as specialist child, adolescent and adult psychiatrists, as well as therapists in Melbourne Australia under supervision informed by both psychoanalytic and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles and practice.
Dr Alan Wragg and Dr Patrick Johnson have a combined experience of nearly sixty years of full-time positions within public and private mental health service delivery including child, adolescent and adult mental health in rural and urban settings, as well as having both worked in office-based and home outreach situations.

Dr Alan Wragg and Dr Patrick Johnson have combined to offer remote area specialist services via Telehealth with face-to-face appointments as practical. True to our name, we can offer the temporary use of a satellite phone via post (with postage paid return) for individuals who live in the most remote areas of Australia without telephone or mobile coverage.
We literally offer a doctor in a box!
Please reach us at alan@sagehealth.com.au if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We offer consultation with an Australian trained senior psychiatric specialist who conducts a Telehealth assessment and may order diagnostic tests. The outcome will be shared with your GP (with your consent). Our Telehealth assessment provides a 1:1 consultation with provision for e-prescriptions to be sent to your mobile phone, or directly to any pharmacy.
You can make an online Telehealth or telephone appointment by using our online appointments scheduling tool on this website.
As all services provided are conducted as as an outpatient , private insurance does not provide any rebates so all rebates are provided by Medicare with a valid GP referral.
