Mental Health

We have a range of specialist services across Wide Bay. Our teams consist of a number of disciplines, including medical officers, nurses, psychologists, occupational therapists, social workers, peer workers and administrative staff. 

These teams include community adult, child and youth, older persons, prison mental health, indigenous mental health and inpatient services such as the acute inpatient units, community care unit and Step Up Step Down facilities.

NEED HELP?

Accessing mental health services is often a very stressful time for the individual, carers and families.  To make this easier, our Acute Care Team are the first point of contact to all public mental health services.  Following triage, this team ensures the consumer is directed to the most appropriate type of service for them.  Anyone can make a referral or access the mental health service.

New consumers or consumers re-entering the service can call the 1300 MH CALL phone service (1300 64 22 55). Existing consumers may contact the team by telephoning their nearest Community Mental Health Service.

During business hours, consumers may present in person to their closest Community Mental Health Service on the details below.

In emergencies or after hours, consumers can present to their nearest emergency department.
