Can another psychiatrist, who is known to the patient, be the second participating doctor in a case conference?

Context

Question: For case conferences involving psychiatrists and allied health personnel (item 855 to 866) can the conference include the treating psychiatrist, another psychiatrist known to the patient, and then allied health or mental health nurses who treat the patient in an ambulatory setting, or does the patient’s GP need to be involved as the second doctor? If so, can that GP be included via teleconference/video conference?
