Need mental health help now?

On 26 July 2021, Mental Health Reform Victoria ceased operations, and its staff and functions moved to the new Mental Health and Wellbeing Division in the Department of Health. The information on this website will move to health.vic.gov.au later this year. In the meantime, we will continue to share information about the mental health treatment, support and care we are delivering for Victorians, here.

The Department of Health is implementing the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System, helping to rebuild the system and set the foundations for change.
