For health care providers
Head to Health provides advice and is a welcoming place for everyone who needs mental health and wellbeing support.

Head to Health is available to all Victorians of all ages, whether their mental health issues are pre-existing or have emerged during the pandemic.
Head to Health provides a central intake service that will find the best support for your patient or client. This may be to an existing service, or if there is not an existing suitable service, they may be referred to a Head to Health hub.
Head to Health is the extra help GPs, and other mental health providers may need right now to manage the increasing number of people seeking mental health support.
A range of questions and answers about the service are below. If you have any further questions, please contact your local Primary Health Network.

Head to Health acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional owners of country throughout Victoria, and their continuing connection to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to them and their cultures, and to elders both past and present.
We also recognise, respect and affirm the central role played in our work by people with lived experience, their families and/or carers.
