If life is at risk please call Triple Zero (000) to receive immediate help

You should call the Mental Health Line if you: 

  •  Are contacting the Mental Health Service for the first time. 
  • Want information, advice or assessment of mental health problems.
  • Would like to see a mental health worker.

This is a telephone-based triage service. Calls are answered 24 hours, 7 days a week, by a mental health clinician who can offer support and connect you with the appropriate local, public mental health service in NSW, including the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District. The service may then offer you an appointment at the community health centre, or a clinician may come to your home to complete an assessment and plan treatment with you.

The Mental Health Line is for anyone needing advice about mental health matters, including how to contact or connect with a mental health service. 
The service is for people of all age groups, living in NSW, including consumers, their friends or family, members of the community or other health professionals.
