About

The Parkville Youth Mental Health and Wellbeing Service (PYMHWS) provides dedicated mental health care to young people aged 12-25 in Melbourne’s north and west, along with their families, carers, supporters and kin. Operating at sites across Melbourne’s north and west PYMHWS is Victoria’s first standalone public mental health service built exclusively around young people’s needs. This means every decision – from the front desk to the boardroom – centres on what young people need. Working in partnership with Orygen, PYMHWS combines world-leading research, clinical excellence and dedicated governance to deliver seamless, person-centred care. Our singular focus on youth means we’re not just providing mental health care - we’re reimagining how it’s experienced, accessed, and delivered. Building on Orygen’s pioneering legacy, PYMHWS will maintain clinical excellence while Orygen continues as an essential partner providing research and innovation.
