What we do   

The Multicultural Mental Health Coordinator (MMHC) program aims to increase cultural responsiveness of Gold Coast Mental Health Alcohol and Other Drugs Services.  

MMHC’s promote culturally responsive mental health care to patients and families by providing direct clinical consultation to clinicians who are working with consumers from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse backgrounds. 

MMHCs also provide workforce training and development and partner with local communities and organisations to contribute to community education and prevention, promotion and early intervention initiatives.  

While the MMHC does not provide interpreter services, they can support consumers and clinicians with information to access interpreter services.  

Who can access this service? 

This service works with all of Gold Cost Health’s mental health, alcohol and other drugs services. Local Non-Government Organisation (NGO) leaders can also access MMHC if they are seeking education and support with accessing and navigating mental health services. 

How to access this service  

The MMHC can be reached directly via email or phone, from 8am to 430pm, Monday to Friday.
