A person’s safety, connectedness, physical and mental health situation can impact how well they cope in undertaking everyday activities. These different factors make up a person’s psychosocial needs, which can vary from one point in time to another and from person to person.
The Mind Health Service Connect Line is for anyone whose health and lifestyle circumstances have changed and need support to undertake everyday activities. It can help individuals, carers and health professionals to navigate the health and care system to find the most appropriate supports and services. Qualified counsellors can connect callers to a range of mental, physical, and social related services.
To access this service please call 1300 029 131 or visit Mind Health Service Connect Line

Paramedics play an essential and irreplaceable role in our community and are regularly ranked as one of the most trusted professions in Australia. But due to the high stress work with exposure to trauma, long and shifting work hours and low rates of help-seeking – they are nearly twice as likely as the general population to experience mental ill-health.
The Hunter New England and Central Coast Primary Health Network (PHN) has partnered with the University of Newcastle and the University of New England to take an innovative approach in helping to identify solutions that will address the mental health crisis across our region.
The PHN's Mental Health Achievements Paper details the journey of the PHN and highlights some of the many notable milestones and achievements in delivering mental health services and solutions for our communities, in the quest for realising our vision.
