PEOPLE living in Sydney's west now have access to free, walk-in mental healthcare with the opening of Canterbury Head to Health at 1205 Canterbury Road, Roselands.
Fully-funded by the Federal Government, Canterbury Head to Health aims to offer a safe place for people to find mental health information, services and support.
It may provide short-to-medium term care for adults with moderate-to-severe levels of mental health needs and immediate support and follow up for people presenting in crisis or distress.
Services are provided by a multidisciplinary team which includes psychologists, social workers, alcohol and other drug workers and peer workers.
Canterbury Head to Health is run by One Door Mental Health which also operates the temporary Lakemba Head to Health pop up clinic in the same area.
People accessing care through temporary pop-up clinics in the Central Eastern Sydney region will be supported to transition to Canterbury Head to Health by mid-2023.
Pharmacy customers needing interpreting services can be told that these services are available after the recent investment in Translating and Interpreting Services.
Further, customers can also call Head to Health on 1800 595 212 to talk to a trained professional and connect with the support that best meets their needs.
