Healthy North Coast has welcomed the recent announcement of new mental health service funding and the planned establishment of a Coffs Harbour Head to Health service.
Head to Health services are designed to be set up in convenient, central locations and to help to increase access to free mental health support for people over 18.
Coffs Harbour has been named as one of seven new NSW Head to Health sites, part of a joint commitment by the Australian and New South Wales Governments of $45.7 million of new mental health funding over four years.
Healthy North Coast will be responsible for contracting a suitable local provider to deliver the new service.
