Northern Community Mental Health Service

Dr. Young is lovely, she's super friendly and easy to talk to. I've only seen her once so far but she is by far my favourite psychiatrist I've seen. The receptionist I spoke to was also very nice and tried to make me feel at ease when I called up feeling guilty about not saying everything in my first session. If you get to choose who you see, I definitely recommend Dr. Young.

In your darkest hour they will turn you away because they dont accept walk in's anymore" so go a find a dark corner to hang yourself in becaue the northern community mental health service doesnt care about you. They only care about bookings that can make them money. Thats why there is on average 8 suicides in australia each day because people and organisations like this just dont care. 0/5 NEVER EVER GO THERE."

This place needs to be investigated in all aspects. Everyone you will come across there have the same attitude. They don't care.They will make you feel even more worthless than you already do. And you'll get no support at all from anyone there. Honestly why even have a community mental health service if you are not going to help, even my GP is disgusted with their lack of support. He has tried to get me help there so many times but I am always discharged by them having recieved no service

Website doesn't even link to their page

I come in fortnightly for medical purposes and enjoy chatting to the workers. If you're willing to commit to treatment and stick to your plan, it's really really helpful.

I have nothing beautiful support even after my mixup with an appointment and I still got to speak to Bobby, which helped so much. My psychiatrist Dr.Toh did his upmost the squeeze me and prescribe my needed medication. They all genuinely care.

Always first class care and polite people. Dont worry about what some complainers say. (This is NOT the place to get mental health triaged, its for ongoing care). Very polite and a great bunch of people.

I found this service very unhelpful when I rang them with a serious concern regarding my grandsons mental health. They were abrupt and uncaring on the phone with no empathy for my grandsons situation.They claimed my grandson missed an appointment (which he was not notified of as they had a different phone number and no mail was received at his address) and even after he went back to his GP to get another referral was refused an appointment and the reason given was he missed the first appointment. We were told to find a private psychiatrist. This young man has been suicidal has never missed an appointment with his psychologist in the pat 4 years (who suggested a bipolar assessment and medication) Certainly very disappointed in this system.Northern Mental Health really need to get their act together as young people are dying as a result of their inability to authentically support themAs his advocate I have supported his attempts to get well but what about the other kids who don't have someone and have to deal with uncaring abrupt people. They are too intimidated to seek help!We are looking at other alternatives but I feel that something needs to be done so that we can feel confident that those people who do access this service are treated with respect, dignity and empathy as poor mental health is an illness not a choice

I was a client at Northern Mental Health Salisbury for many many years. The staff there are outstanding in every area. My psychiatrist Dr. Toh saved my life on many levels and occasions, I will always be eternally grateful to him and the wonderful team there for all the treatment, support and dedicated care that I received over the years. I was very fortunate to have had Dr. Toh as my primary Dr., he is highly skilled and a very caring, dedicated amazing individual. Thank you to everyone at Salisbury, Park Tce for caring.

If I could get a 0 star I would. Constant mix ups with my daughters appts. Constant mix ups with depo at home or in the service like today. She is sick so we organised them to do a depo home visit. I call to see when they’re coming and she’s not on the home visit list. They won’t unlatch their claws from my daughters care and tried for a 12 month CTO. We win a 3 month CTO. So end of this month she should be free of them but no they want her for another 12 months. Is this because they receive funding for her?? Probably! If she actually received proper treatment this wouldn’t be a problem, we’d be happy for her to stay but we want to pay private and recover the care she needs ands deserves. If I didn’t call twice today we it would like she’s breaking her CTO. How about we talk about the constant changing of psychiatrists, she had 3 different ones in a matter of months, how is this a good duty of care? Oh and I haven’t even touched on someone in leadership there writing about me on her fb page called me paranoid.....
