Mental Health Check In

Mental Health Check In

Medicare Mental Health Check In is available to people who are 16 years and older and living in Australia. This service is a good option if you want to build practical skills, work out strategies to manage your mental health or take a first step toward improving your wellbeing.

It works best when you feel ready to try small, practical changes. The focus is on early intervention and prevention – helping you strengthen your mental health before concerns get worse.  You don’t need a referral or diagnosis from your doctor to use the programs.  

In is not intended for people experiencing a mental health crisis, requiring ongoing mental health care or a formal diagnostic assessment, or needing medical treatment for severe or complex conditions.
