Who We Are

TeamHEALTH is a for-purpose organisation dedicated to supporting people living with mental health challenges across the Northern Territory.

We work to build stronger, more inclusive communities by creating capacity for good mental health — so that all people can lead full and valued lives.

We are the only non-faith-based, grassroots mental health organisation focused solely on the NT. Our deep connection to the Territory means we understand the unique needs of our communities — from urban centres to remote regions.

With our head office in Darwin, we deliver evidence-based mental health programs focused on early intervention, recovery, and rehabilitation across Darwin, Palmerston, and the remote and regional communities of the Top End — including Katherine, Maningrida, and Gunbalanya.

Our Story

TeamHEALTH was founded in 1987 by a group of passionate family members and service providers who wanted better care for their loved ones living with mental illness. Their vision — grounded in compassion, community, and hope — became the foundation for the organisation we are today.

More than three decades later, we continue to grow, supporting more Territorians every day. We remain driven by that original spirit: to walk alongside people in their recovery and champion better mental health outcomes for all.

What We Do

Our work spans early intervention, recovery-focused support, and advocacy. We:

• Provide practical, person-centred mental health support
• Help individuals build the skills and confidence to achieve their recovery goals
• Promote community understanding of mental health
• Advocate across sectors for the needs and rights of people experiencing mental health challenges

Whether it’s helping someone transition back home after hospital, supporting daily living tasks, or building confidence to re-enter the workforce — we’re here for every step of the journey.

Our Vision

That all people lead a full and valued life.

We pursue this by supporting individuals to define what a meaningful life looks like for them — and then walk beside them as they work towards it.

Our Purpose

To build community capacity for good mental health, enabling people to live full and valued lives.

We do this through our experienced and compassionate workforce, supporting people to develop life skills, maintain independence, and participate fully in their community
