Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS National)
If you need mental health support in your language, contact Medicare Mental Health through the Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS National). TIS National covers more than 100 languages and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for the cost of a local call:
Ask the interpreter to call Head to Health (transitioning to Medicare Mental Health) on 1800 595 212.
You may need to wait on the line for the interpreter, or the operator may need to call you back when an interpreter is available.
When you are speaking with the interpreter, they will call Head to Health (transitioning to Medicare Mental Health) for you and interpret your conversation.
We believe that all young people deserve to grow into adulthood with optimal mental health. Everything we do is focused on that outcome.
Most mental health disorders begin between the early teens to the mid-20s. One in five young people will have experienced a depressive episode by the time they turn 18. We believe in treating early and focusing on recovery. We use our research and evidence-based practice to develop innovative training programs and resources.
