How to find us?

Visit Medicare Mental Health

We take walk-ins, phone calls, and online enquiries and we don’t require a referral, a Medicare Card or a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP). If you do have a MHCP we can provide support in finding resources and referrals for your plan.

If you are contacting Medicare Mental Health for the first time, be aware that if you make contact late in the day we may not have enough time to complete your initial assessment but will always find a suitable time to complete the process with you.

For urgent help

Whilst we will support people in distress and help you find the right support, Medicare Mental Health is not a crisis service. If you do present in crisis, our team will help you to connect to an emergency department or appropriate emergency service to get immediate help.

If you are unsafe and need immediate help, please call 000.
