About Stride: We are leaders in mental health service delivery, specialising in working with adults and young people, and in early childhood intervention.
Stride is a name that expresses our ambition – it's a name that's purposeful and shows awareness of the important role we play in the recovery journey.
About Our Partnership
In partnership with Wellways and Clarity Health Care, we will soon be opening the Western NSW Medicare Mental Health Centre, with locations in Dubbo and Bathurst.
The Medicare Mental Health Centres, formerly Head to Health, are an important part of Australia's reformed mental health and wellbeing system.
About The Service
The services in Dubbo and Bathurst are funded by the Australian Government to provide a streamlined approach to support better mental health and social wellbeing across the country.
The service is tailored to the needs of the community in regional NSW and provides a combination of peer-led recovery and clinical support.
The Medicare Mental Health Centre provides a safe, welcoming and supportive environment for people experiencing psychological distress, providing an alternative to presenting to the Emergency Department for low risk individuals, and allowing them to access support from trained mental health professionals within their community, outside a clinical setting.
