Head to Health is now Medicare Mental Health: same service, new name
31 March 2025Exciting news: Head to Health is now Medicare Mental Health.
While the name has changed, the service and contact number remain the same. This rebranding is part of the Australian Government's commitment to expand the network of Medicare Mental Health Centres across the country.
As part of this expansion, services like the Head to Health phone service, Head to Health Kids, and the Head to Health website will now carry the Medicare Mental Health name. This update ensures all services are aligned with other trusted Australian Government-funded clinical programs.
All Medicare Mental Health service offerings for individuals, carers, and health professionals will continue to be free, comprehensive, and confidential. Even though the services will now operate under the Medicare Mental Health brand, you do not need a Medicare card to access support.
This change is another step towards ensuring that Australians, no matter where they live, have access to the mental health support they need.
For assistance in finding the right mental health services or referrals, you can contact Medicare Mental Health via phone on 1800 595 212, available Monday to Friday from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm.
