If you want more mint to use before the onset of winter you'll need to cut it back. But it's great for bringing pollinators into the garden... if you've a big pot maybe cut half back as a compromise?

Fabulous thank you @brightcolours what do I do in winter?

Give it a good feed now eg with chook manure and replenish the mulch. As the weather cools the foliage will start looking tatty. So cut it all back and wait for the new growth in Spring as the weather warms up. Here's a planting guide for Melbourne - http://localfoodconnect.org.au/community-gardening/planting-guide/
