The Western Queensland Primary Health Network is collaborating with stakeholders in the Mount Isa and surrounding communities to establish the Medicare Mental Health Hub (satellite), a significant initiative aimed at improving mental health services in Mount Isa and surrounding areas.

Community Consultation will begin 2 September 2024, giving an opportunity for community members to share their views, concerns, and suggestions regarding the new mental health hub (satellite).

The Hub will offer free, high-quality mental health information, support, and care in a safe and welcoming environment, without the need for appointments.

Community consultations will be integral in shaping the services to meet local needs, and multiple feedback channels available for community input.
