Werribee, Victoria (location within Werribee Mercy Hospital)

Overview

Mercy Health ​provides acute hospital admission and treatment for adults living within the Maribyrnong, Hobsons Bay and Wyndham municipalities.
Our aim is to provide care for people experiencing mental illness in the least restrictive environment.

Referrals to the Mercy Mental Health adult psychiatric units can be made through the mental health triage service:

Mental Health Triage

  • Phone numbers:

    Mental Health Triage
    ​1300 657 259
    24 hours, 7 days a week

  • Website: Mercy Mental Health Triage
  • About:

    If you are experiencing mental distress or you are seeking treatment for a mental health problem, please phone the triage line
    For emergencies requiring immediate assistance, call 000.
    You may need to leave a message on an answering service and the triage worker will return your call as soon as possible.

Usually this is in a community setting. However, if a person is too unwell to be safely managed in the community, admission to a psychiatric unit will be considered to assist in treating the acute phase of the illness. This unit provides short term acute treatment only. People are discharged as soon as they are well enough.​ Once the illness improves, we will support the person to continue their recovery in a community setting.
