Our approach

While one in five people in Australia will experience mental health issues, accessing mental health support is often difficult for a number of reasons - availability of services in your area, cost or being able to book an appointment when you really need it.

At Mental Wellbeing Services we provide accessible, personalised care and support to help change people's lives, in a way that is affordable for every person. 

Caring in the community, with the community

Our caregivers come from clinical, health and social welfare backgrounds and, together, we offer a broad range of evidenced-based counselling, psychotherapy and mental health support and education services.

Our services are designed for – and with – the individuals and families that need them, in partnership with general practitioners and other local healthcare providers.

Helping people reset their lives and thrive

By using an inclusive partnership model that involves carers, clients and connections with other healthcare providers and mental health services, we’re able to provide self-determined, whole-wellbeing solutions designed around each person’s unique situation and goals.

It isn’t about fixing people when they are at their most vulnerable. It isn’t about prescribing a solution.

It’s about providing a way forward, step by step, with integrated pathways to other health, wellbeing and community programs that enable people to move on and thrive.

Ultimately, we strive to empower people to understand, nurture and sustain their mental and physical wellbeing so they can thrive as a connected member of their community.

Our Community Services Charter explains your rights and responsibilities, and what you can expect, when engaging with our services.
