MyndKind supports all people in North Queensland who find it difficult to access mental health services.

These people often face financial hardship, limited transport, and other challenges that make it hard to get the help they need.

The easiest way to access MyndKind, and a range of other supports, is to call the Head to Health Phone Service on 1800 595 212 where people will be connected to a service or support that’s right for them.

If MyndKind is not the right service for you, the Head to Health Phone Service will help you find the one that is.

GPs and other health professionals can refer patients to MyndKind via phone, email, or fax.

MyndKind is a new approach to mental healthcare driven by people's needs. It focuses on improved access to support, a connected team approach to care, and smooth transitions as people’s needs change.

It has a more diverse range of services and support for people to access, and it’s flexible, which mean support can take place in a group, a person’s home, on the phone, or at the park.

It has been designed in North Queensland by locals who have personally navigated their own mental health challenges and experiences.

It is free and makes accessing mental health options easier for those who need it most.

MyndKind brings together your mental health team, so they all know your story and you don’t need to keep retelling it.
