North Coast Head to Health is now Medicare Mental Health​
North Coast Head to Health centres have been rebranded and are now operating as Medicare Mental Health Centres. There are two Medicare Mental Health Centres in the North Coast region: Coffs Harbour Medicare Mental Health Centre and Lismore Medicare Mental Health Centre.
Please note, we will continue to provide the same service, with the same staff.
New and existing service users can continue to receive the same free, high-quality, compassionate mental health care at our Medicare Mental Health Centres (known formerly as North Coast Head to Health) when they need it.
