Choose a region by name, then check which local providers serve your area. These are regional orientation lists, not claims that a particular mental health service operates in every district.
If you cannot find your area or travel is difficult, ask a GP, Māori health provider or Healthpoint-listed service about outreach, telephone access and referral options. Crisis arrangements vary by region.
Ask whether an iwi/Māori health provider, GP or mental health team offers local appointments, mobile visits, culturally responsive clinicians, or support to travel. A service may need a referral, and waiting times, eligibility and fees can vary.
Support might involve coordinating transport, childcare, family availability, mobility aids, appointments and safe ways to share information. Ask providers how consent, privacy and whānau participation work.
Before a phone or video appointment, ask if it is appropriate for your needs, how your privacy is protected, whether you can involve a support person and what happens if the connection fails. Some assessments need face-to-face follow-up.
