Better. Together. is a free mental health service for people aged 18 and over across the Murrumbidgee region.

We believe better mental health care happens when services work together, not separately. Our multidisciplinary teams work alongside general practices to provide care that is tailored to each person from clinical interventions and peer support through to care coordination, service navigation, social prescribing and group programs.
