Mental Health Services

This page lists quality mental health services and support available to veterans.

If you, or someone you know, need immediate mental health support, you can contact:

Group Programs

Open Arms offers a range of free group programs to assist the serving and ex-serving community, as well as their families live their best life. Call 1800 011 046 to speak with an Open Arms staff member for assistance in finding the right program for you. Its range of group activities include group treatment programs, online groups, relationship retreats and suicide intervention education workshops which can be viewed here.

National Centre for Veterans’ Healthcare

The National Centre for Veteran’s Health (NCVH) specialises in administering tailored healthcare for veterans, recognising that they often need very different care to the general public. Located at Concord Hospital, its wide range of specialist services include psychiatry and psychology. Read more.

RSL LifeCare and RSL DefenceCare

The partner charities of RSL NSW, RSL LifeCare and RSL DefenceCare, specialise in supporting veterans and their families with various services that focus on providing a lifetime of wellbeing. Read more.
