25.01.2022 Many Melburnians are joyous at the prospect of a return to socialising, as the city regains some old freedoms this week following significantly eased coronaviru...s restrictions.

10.01.2022 ‘If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that 2020 has been a rough year. With the pandemic taking a toll on our mental health, it’s worth asking, can Australians get help when they need it? Australians mostly access mental health care through the Medicare system, with taxpayers spending $1.3 billion a year on rebates. But is help getting where it’s needed most?’ ABC News has just released a report showing the breakdown of mental health care access in Australia by pos...t code you can visit the following link to see exactly what access is like in your area: https://bit.ly/MHaccess The data shows that the current system leaves a large portion of Australia’s mental health workforce ‘effectively under-utilised’ and patients ‘locked into care they often can’t afford beyond 10 sessions.’ At Call to Mind, we see patients in rural, remote and metro regions of the country in a timely manner with an aim to improve access to quality care for those who need it most.
