Mental Health

Our Mental Health Service provides specialist public mental health services to the communities of the Northern Mallee region, across an area of 25,000 square kilometres.

Whilst most services are physically located in Mildura, our service provides outreach programs to the smaller outlying rural communities.

Our service offers both inpatient and community based care for those requiring mental health services.
