Norlane-based adult mental health centre Geelong Head to Health has been renamed and rebranded but still offers the same free service.
The Geelong Head to Health adult mental health centre is now called the Geelong Medicare Mental Health Centre. This change is part of the Australian Government’s plan to expand access to free mental health services and better align these centres with other trusted government services. Only the name and look of the centres have changed.
The Geelong Medicare Mental Health Centre, at 8 Station Street in Norlane, will continue to offer a welcoming space to access free and confidential mental health information, services and support.
The service provides immediate, short and medium-term mental health and wellbeing support and help connect people to other supports in the area. No appointment, referral or Medicare card is needed, and you don’t need to be an Australian citizen or resident to get support.
