Feeling worried or overwhelmed? Flying Doctor Wellbeing can help when times are tough. Mental health and wellbeing services are now available in your community.
Flying Doctor Wellbeing, offered by the Royal Flying Doctor Service Victoria, provides access to FREE mental health and wellbeing services for people living in rural and remote communities. This is a confidential support service to help you through tough times.
Flying Doctor mental health clinicians help you talk through your concerns, provide expert advice, resources and strategies. If necessary, clinicians will refer you to more specialised help.
No GP referral is required to access this service. You can contact us directly or ask your trusted health professional to put you in touch.
Flying Doctor Wellbeing appointments can last up to one hour. At your first appointment you will meet your clinician. They may ask you lots of questions.
While this may be difficult, this ensures our clinicians understand your concerns and tailor future appointments to best support you. Don't worry, no problem is too small.
Feeling nervous is normal, but your appointments will get easier as you become more comfortable. Your clinician will work with you to develop a personalised plan to support your wellbeing.
