The Mental Health Services Navigation Tool has been developed to support improved access to mental health services in the Eastern Metropolitan Region of Melbourne, by increasing capacity of service providers to identify the right service at the right time.

It is designed to be a navigational aid for Primary Care Providers when making decisions about which mental health services may be most beneficial to their patients/consumers. This tool was initially developed with GPs as the key audience; however, its focus has become more inclusive of the services identified within and outside the scope of this tool.

A brief overview of the types of services provided by each organisation is listed on each page. Information is also provided on eligibility for each service, along with contact details and internet addresses for further information and service activities.

Included throughout this tool are various referral forms and templates that can be downloaded for your use. Please click on the relevant program to download the template.
