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.

Homelessness Week is a time to recognise the complex and growing issue of housing insecurity across Australia—including here in Canberra 🏠

This year’s theme, “Housing Ends Homelessness,” reminds us that homelessness is not just a personal challenge but a systemic issue that affects health, safety and well-being.

At Canberra Medicare Mental Health Centre, we see firsthand how housing stress and instability impact mental health.

No one should have to face homelessness alone. To learn more about how you can support those facing homelessness or if you are looking for support, visit homelessnessaustralia.org.au to find out more.

Today marks the start of Birth Trauma Awareness Week 2025, running from 14 to 18 July.

This year’s theme, “This Is Birth,” shines a light on the full spectrum of birth experiences, both the beautiful and the challenging, and reminds us that every story deserves to be heard and every person deserves to be supported.

Birth trauma can be physical, psychological, or both, and it’s more common than many realise. Each year, thousands of families across Australia are affected, yet it often goes unspoken and unsupported. This week is about raising awareness, breaking the silence and ensuring that support is available to those who need it.

You can learn more at Birth Trauma Australia

If you or someone you know is struggling, Canberra Medicare Mental Health Centre is here to support you.

Whether it’s a treat after a tough day or just part of your self-care ritual, take a moment to enjoy something sweet 🤎
