MELTON: Mental health service opened by Minister Stitt
The official opening of the permanent Melton Mental Health and Wellbeing Local was conducted by Ingrid Stitt (pictured), Minister for Mental Health, last Friday (Nov. 28).
The service, which has been operating since 2023, will now offer walk-in services to the Melton community, with a range of clinical and wellbeing mental health supports – all free of charge with no Medicare card or GP referral required.
The service is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of experienced mental health professionals, wellbeing staff and peer support workers, and is designed to meet the diverse needs of the community.
The Mental Health and Wellbeing Local in Melton is led by Mind Australia in partnership with IPC Health, Thorne Harbour Health, and Western Health.
People across the Melton area can now access the service at 223 Bridge Rd, Cobblebank, on weekdays from 10am to 8pm, and on weekends and public holidays from 10am to 5pm.
Walk-ins and appointments are available Monday to Thursday from 10am to 4pm. Telehealth is available during all business hours.
