Thanks Dr Vine, Deputy Chief Medical Officer for Mental Health, for the timely reminder about prioritising our mental health. If you need support but can’t get to a healthcare provider, try a #telehealth consultation. It's access to support by phone or video, wherever you are.
October is #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth.
Hear from Dr Ruth Vine as we continue the theme of belonging this week💻headtohealth.gov.au
