Mental Health Referral Network

Support for high performance athletes and eligible individuals within the Australian high performance sports system who have mental health or wellbeing concerns

The AIS Mental Health Referral Network (MHRN) is a group of expert psychologists and mental health clinicians who understand the pressures and complexity of life in a high performance setting.

Whether you’re an athlete, a coach or a support staff member, they can assist when things are tough or if you want some advice on how to improve your wellbeing.

Talking to someone makes a difference.

Connect with the MHRN to access free and confidential support for yourself or to refer someone else.

Please note: The MHRN is not an emergency call service. If you are concerned about yourself or someone else and it’s urgent, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 for immediate 24/7 support. If someone’s safety is in danger, please call 000.
