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.
There is no shame in yarning about our mental health. If you have a lot of worries, feel sad, stressed, or have jumbled thoughts – it can help to have a yarn with family, someone you trust or an Aboriginal Health Worker at the local clinic. Find resources here on ways to support mental health.
