Our Mental Health Services team provide direct services to Tasmanians, carers and families affected by severe mental health problems. We work with the non-Government sector, Tasmanian communities and the broader mental health sector.
Our mental health services are provided by three Area Management Units overseeing service delivery in the South, North, and North West regions of Tasmania. The service is coordinated by a centralised state office in the South.
