The Australian Government has announced the launch of the new Head to Health phone service which will help Australians access mental health support in their own communities.
The national phone service will operate alongside physical Head to Health centres, satellites, and the Head to Health website, giving Australians several ways to receive timely advice, assessment, and treatment.
“The mental health and wellbeing of all Australians is a top priority for the Albanese Government and we believe it’s vital that everyone has access to the care they need when they need it, no matter where they live,” said Assistant Minister, Emma McBride.
