Using your cover to support your mental health

From psychological consultations to apps that train your mindfulness, we'll take you through the many ways Medibank health cover can help look after your mental health. 

Finding support that's right for you

When you’re going through a tough time, it’s not always easy to know where to start. When is the right time to seek support and where should you go? We can help advise and guide you.
