Mental Health and Wellbeing Hubs - Abbotsford, Victoria

The Mental Health and Wellbeing Hubs allow Victorians to access free and immediate support for mental ill-health. The Hubs act as a ‘front door’ service to the mental health system and can connect you with the long-term support services that you need to get well and stay well.

About the Mental Health and Wellbeing Hubs:

The hubs provide a mix of free face-to-face support, telehealth, mobile outreach, and online delivery services.

• lowered mood
• anxiety
• substance use or addiction (for yourself or those you care about)
