Canberra Medicare Mental Health Centre

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.

Happy National Hugging Day! 🤗

Did you know that a simple hug can do wonders for your mental health?

When we hug someone we care about, our bodies release oxytocin which helps reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and boost our mood.

Of course, not everyone is comfortable with hugs. A smile, a kind word, or simply being present for someone can be just as powerful.

Today and every day, remember that connection matters – in whatever form feels right for you 💚

This New Year, give yourself permission to go slow 💚

January can feel overwhelming – everyone's talking about new goals, fresh starts, and big transformations. But here's your gentle reminder: you don't have to sprint into the new year.

Real, lasting change happens one small step at a time. It's ok to start slowly. It's ok to stumble. It's ok to rest when you need to. Be kind to yourself and give yourself grace to go at your own pace.

Whatever you're working towards this year, remember that your wellbeing isn't a competition, and you're exactly where you need to be right now.

As summer shines across Canberra, it’s the perfect time to soak up the sunshine and enjoy the outdoors ☀️

Spending time outside, whether it’s a walk around the lake, a swim, or simply sitting in the park, can do wonders for your mental health. Fresh air, movement, and a change of scenery can all help to lift your mood and reduce stress.

Make sure you take a moment this summer to pause, breathe, and connect with yourselves and the outdoors.

The holiday period isn’t always the happiest time of year, and that’s okay.

For many, it can bring extra stress, financial pressure or tricky family dynamics that make things feel heavier than usual. Amid the celebrations, it’s important to check in with yourself and prioritise your mental health and wellbeing.

Remember, you don’t have to go through it alone. At the Canberra City and Tuggeranong Mental Health Centres, we offer free and accessible mental health support for everyone, with no treatment plan or Medicare card needed.

If you or someone you know needs a little extra support this holiday season, reach out. We’re here to help 🤍

Today is Human Rights Day, a reminder that rights are not just words on paper, but are part of our everyday lives.

This year’s theme, “Human Rights, Our Everyday Essentials,” highlights that basic freedoms and protections, including access to healthcare and support, are essential for everyone, every day.

At the Canberra City and Tuggeranong Medicare Mental Health Centres, we believe mental health care is a fundamental part of this, and we are dedicated to providing free, accessible mental health support to everyone in the Canberra region, so you don't have to face mental health challenges alone.
