NT Mental Health Coalition

NT Mental Health Coalition NTMHC is the peak body for the community mental health sector in the Northern Territory.

We work at both a national and local level to improve the mental health and wellbeing of all Territorians. As the peak body for community managed mental health services across the Northern Territory, NTMHC strives to promote awareness and reduce the stigma associated with mental illness and to contribute to the improvement of the mental health and wellbeing of all Territorians. We work in collabor

ation with a wide network of organisations, people with lived experience, their families and supporters across the NT. We provide advice to governments and offer policy input as well as advocacy on behalf of member organisations for stronger NT mental health service provision. Our vision is that all Territorians have the opportunity for the best possible mental health and wellbeing.
