🌼 Birth Trauma Awareness Week 🌼

Birth is powerful, but it’s not always the joyful experience many expect. For some it can be traumatic, leaving lasting emotional impacts.

At Wagga Wagga Medicare Mental Health Centre, we want you to know that you’re not alone, and support is available.

💬 If you’re struggling after birth, our team is here to help.

💙 Free, confidential mental health support is available - whether it’s days, months, or even years after your experience, we’re here when you’re ready.

Strengthening Mental Health Support in Wagga Wagga

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming The Hon Emma McBride MP, Assistant Minister for Mental Health and Su***de Prevention, and Michael McCormack MP to the Wagga Wagga Medicare Mental Health Centre.

Their visit highlights the importance of accessible, community-based mental health care for all Australians — right here in the Riverina. Minister McBride and Mr McCormack toured our centre, met with staff, and heard firsthand from locals about the positive impact of expanded Medicare mental health services in our region.

🧠💙 Men’s Health Week may be over, but your mental health still matters 💙🧠

Men’s Health Week was a powerful reminder of how important it is for men to prioritise their mental wellbeing not just for one week, but all year round.
Too often, men feel the pressure to stay silent or “tough it out” but the truth is, there’s real strength in reaching out.

At Wagga Wagga Medicare Mental Health Centre, we offer a safe, confidential, and judgment-free space for men of all ages to talk, be heard, and access professional mental health support.
Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or just not feeling quite yourself, you don’t have to face it alone.

📍 Visit us at 235 -241 Baylis Street, Wagga Wagga
📞 Call 02 6453 4440
🌐 No GP referral needed

Men’s mental health matters every single day. If you're looking for a place to start, we're here.
