Canberra Medicare Mental Health Centre

We are a free service to help people in the Canberra community. You don’t need to make an appointment

Whilst we will support people in distress and help you find the right support, Canberra Medicare Mental Health Centre is not a crisis service. If you do present in crisis, our team will help you to connect to an emergency department or appropriate emergency service to get immediate help. Canberra Medicare Mental Health Centre is part of the nationwide Medicare Mental Health Centre program and this service is supported by funding from the ACT PHN through the Australian Government’s PHN Program.

Spring is in the air in Canberra – the perfect time to get outside, breathe deeply and reset 🌼

Spending time outdoors, even a short walk around one of our gorgeous lakes, reading a book outside or enjoying the vibrant blooms at Floriade can lift your mood, reduce stress and support your overall mental wellbeing. Sunshine and fresh air aren’t just good for your body – they’re a natural boost for your mind too.

If taking those first steps feels hard, remember you’re not alone. Our team offers caring, confidential mental health support free of charge for everyone in Canberra.

So this spring, take in the season, prioritise your wellbeing, and reach out if you need a little extra support 🌿

Our Canberra MMHC team pulled out the purple in honour of Wear It Purple Day last month.

Wear It Purple Day is a powerful reminder that every young person deserves to feel safe, seen and supported - no matter their gender identity or sexuality.

Our MMHCs in Canberra City and Tuggeranong are committed to providing inclusive and affirming mental health care because feeling supported shouldn’t be a privilege; it should be the standard 💜

Checking in matters every day.

While today may be R U OK? Day , remembering to ask “Are you okay?” shouldn’t be limited to one day a year. Taking a moment to genuinely reach out to someone you care about, listen without judgment and offer support can make a real difference in their life.

Sometimes, a simple question is enough to let someone know they’re not alone 💬

For tips on starting these conversations and finding support, visit the R U OK? website, because every day is an opportunity to show you care.

Today is a reminder that every conversation about mental health matters — and that reaching out for support can save lives.

Here in Canberra, our community came together earlier today for Lifeline Canberra Out of the Shadows Walk, a moving way to honour loved ones lost to su***de and to walk together in hope 🌅

If you or someone you know is struggling, please know you’re not alone. Crisis support is always available:
☎️ Lifeline: 13 11 14
☎️ Beyond Blue: 1300 224 636
☎️ MensLine: 1300 789 978
☎️ Access Mental Health (ACT): 1800 629 354
☎️ Kids Helpline: 1800 551 800

For those navigating life after loss, there are also programs in place to support you. One such program is StandBy Support After Su***de, Australia’s leading su***de postvention program dedicated to assisting people and communities bereaved or impacted by su***de.

Remember, you can always reach out to us for an initial assessment with a Mental Health Clinician to find out how we can help support you.

This week is Body Image & Eating Disorders Awareness Week.

This , we’re 'Unpacking the Why' - exploring the factors behind eating disorders and body image concerns. Because when we understand why, we can provide better support, reduce stigma, and help more people on the path to recovery.

More than 1 million Australians are living with an eating disorder right now, but no one has to face it alone. Support is available. Locally, we have some amazing initiatives, such as the Canberra Eating Disorders Clinical Hub and the Residential Treatment Centre in Coombs. Nationally, the Butterfly Foundation offers free and confidential help.

This week is about awareness, action and compassion. Even small steps, such as learning, listening and sharing, can make a significant difference.

Today is International Youth Day. A day to recognise and celebrate the strength, creativity, and potential of young people in Canberra and around the world 🌏

This year’s theme, “Youth Leading Change,” is a powerful reminder that young people aren’t just the future; they’re leading the way right now. From taking action on mental health to advocating for equity and inclusion, young voices are driving real progress.

But behind every changemaker is a need for connection, support and a space to feel heard. Whether it’s navigating stress, identity or big life decisions, no young person should have to go it alone. Support is out there, and reaching out is a strength, not a setback.

In Canberra, young people facing challenges have a range of support systems available. MindMap ACT is a mental health portal for under 25s with a range of services and portals online. Menslink offer mentoring and counselling for young men, and Fearless Women work to empower girls and young women to live with confidence and resilience through thier programs and education.

At Medicare Mental Health Centres, we know the mental health impacts of bullying can be long-lasting. Whether you're a young person, parent or educator, support is available, and early intervention makes a difference.

Loneliness doesn’t always look the way we expect. It can affect anyone—regardless of age, background or situation—and can often hide in plain sight 🤝

This Loneliness Awareness Week, we’re joining the call to "Build Connections That Matter." Whether it’s through a small conversation, community groups, or professional support, meaningful human connection can change lives.

At both our Canberra city and Tuggeranong locations, we provide a safe and supportive space where individuals can be heard, understood, and connected with others. Because no one should feel alone in their struggles.

Our Peer Social Group offers a place for people with lived mental health experience to come together, build meaningful connections, and find support in a warm, understanding community, helping to ease loneliness and foster a sense of belonging.

If you or someone you know is struggling, we are here for you. To find information about our services and support groups, visit canberrammhc.com.au
