Mental Health

We are committed to ensuring people receive the right services at the right time and in the right place.

Using our primary mental health care funds we purchase services within a stepped care approach. Through our regional planning role we promote a stepped care approach across the mental health system.

For crisis support:

Most of the MPHN services do not provide 24 hour crisis support. If you require crisis support or out-of-hours support please contact:

NSW Mental Health Line 1800 011 511
Lifeline 13 11 14
Emergency services 000 or your nearest emergency department.
