About Us
We specialize in mental health service delivery, focusing on adults and young people, as well as early childhood intervention. Our mission is to provide a supportive environment for recovery.
Our Partnership
We partner with Wellways and Clarity Health Care to open the Western NSW Medicare Mental Health Centre, featuring locations in Dubbo and Bathurst.
The Importance of the Medicare Mental Health Centre
The Medicare Mental Health Centres play a crucial role in Australia's reformed mental health and wellbeing system.
Our Service
Funded by the Australian Government, our services in Dubbo and Bathurst aim to provide streamlined support for better mental health and social wellbeing nationwide.
Our Approach
Our service is tailored to regional NSW community needs, offering a combination of peer-led recovery and clinical support.
A Safe and Welcoming Environment
The Medicare Mental Health Centre provides a safe and welcoming space for individuals experiencing psychological distress.
