Raphael Centre

Raphael Centre Murdoch will soon be opening at Ferns House in Fremantle – home to our Murdoch Community Mental Health services. The service will provide specialised mental health support to parents and families with young children who experience depression or anxiety during pregnancy and in the first few years following childbirth.

The service is being developed following identification of significant gaps in the availability of services for people experiencing perinatal and infant mental health issues in the Perth south metro area. More information.
