Mental Health Service in

Western Sydney

Did you know that one in five Australians aged 16–85 experience a mental illness each year?

The launch of Head to Health services during COVID-19 changed how we think about mental health challenges and normalised getting support. Since September 2021, Head to Health Pop Ups in Western Sydney have provided over 7,300 sessions of care to community members.

Free Adult Mental Health Centre in Parramatta

The success of the Head to Health Pop Up centres has led to the opening of a new Head to Health Adult Mental Health Centre (AMHC) for adults experiencing moderate to high mental health needs. A safe, warm and welcoming place, this free service caters for those experiencing emotional distress, and for friends and family needing advice and support.

Anyone over 18 years old can access free support, and no appointment, referral, Medicare card or previous mental health diagnosis is needed. The AMHC team is made up of mental health nurses, alcohol and other drug workers, clinical care coordinators and people with lived experience so that you can get the best care tailored to your specific needs.

Parramatta Head to Health is operated by Stride Mental Health and is supported by funding from Western Sydney Primary Health Network (WSPHN). WSPHN is operated by WentWest.
