A tender to establish and deliver the Campbelltown Medicare Mental Health Centre (formerly Head to Health) is now open.
Eligible organisations can express their interest to South Western Sydney Primary Health Network until 17 October.
About Medicare Mental Health Centres
Medicare Mental Health Centres deliver evidence-informed, person-centred, recovery-oriented and cost-effective mental health services, aligned with a stepped care approach, for adults who may be experiencing moderate to high levels of distress or crisis.
Procurement overview
South Western Sydney PHN is inviting expressions of interest from organisations to deliver the Campbelltown Medicare Mental Health Centre from 1 January 2025 (implementation) to 30 June 2026.
People requiring support in the local area, or those attending the site, will recognise Campbelltown Medicare Mental Health Centre as an accessible entry point to the mental health care system for the services and information they need.
Through the Campbelltown Medicare Mental Health Centre people will be able to access, or be connected to, specific mental health and related services they are assessed as needing and will receive immediate advice and care which will reduce their level of mental and emotional distress.
Individuals experiencing high levels of psychological distress or in crisis will receive the care they need from the site, resulting in a reduction in the number of non-urgent presentations to local hospital emergency departments.
