What is Canberra Medicare Mental Health Centre?
The Canberra Medicare Mental Health Centre Centre is a free, commonwealth funded service that is available to all those who live, work, or play within the ACT. The Centre provides both telephone-based and face-to-face support. We can provide individuals with a standardised intake assessment to thoroughly understand your circumstances and needs, then help connect you to the best resources and services to meet your needs.
The Canberra Medicare Mental Health Centre Centre is staffed by a local organisation, Think Mental Health’s multidisciplinary team of psychologists, mental health assistants, nurses, occupational therapists, and social workers, along with psychiatry input.
Medicare Mental Health Canberra is part of the nation-wide Medicare Mental Health program and this service is supported by funding from the ACT PHN through the Australian Government’s PHN Program.
Canberra Head to Health
Canberra Head to Health has been rebranded and is now known as Canberra Medicare Mental Health Centre. Please note, we still continue to provide the same service, with the same staff.
New and existing service users can continue to receive the same free, high-quality, compassionate mental health care at the Canberra Medicare Mental Health Centre (known formerly as Canberra Head to Health) when they need it.
As is the case currently, no appointment, referral or Medicare card will be needed – anyone living in Canberra and the surrounding region, can walk in and talk to someone for mental health support 🤍
Our website has also changed from canberraheadtohealth.com.au to canberrammhc.com.au. You will receive confirmation emails from @canberrammhc.com.au.
