How to find us?

Visit Head to 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 Head to 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.
