Young Indigenous people in the remote Northern Territory communities of Mutitjulu and Yulara are benefiting from access to free mental health support through headspace's cultural outreach service.

The innovative program supports First Nations young people needing social and emotional wellbeing support to get local, culturally appropriate services when and where they need it.

The program provides support from a headspace mental health clinician and headspace Aboriginal youth workers to offer support which has been co-designed together with community.

Northern Territory Member for Lingiari, Marion Scrymgour, said young people in Mutitjulu and Yulara are encouraged to reach out for the help they need.

"The headspace services at Mutitjulu and Yulara are making a difference in remote communities where it's otherwise difficult to access culturally sensitive and appropriate mental health services," Ms Scrymgour said.

"We know that getting support and treatment early is important to reduce the duration and impact of mental illness."

Along with the Mutitjulu and Yulara service, headspace currently has First Nations-led services in Alice Springs, Broome, Mt Isa, Kununurra, and the Brisbane North service which is due to open in the coming months.

The Mutitjulu and Yulara headspace outreach service is funded by the Federal Government, through the Northern Territory Primary Health Network, operated by Central Australian Aboriginal Congress, an Aboriginal Community-Controlled Health Service.

On Thursday Assistant Minister for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention, Emma McBride, visited Mutitjulu to meet with staff and young people who attend the headspace outreach service.

"Mental ill health disproportionately impacts First Nations young people, including in remote communities," Ms McBride said.

"Headspace Mutitjulu and Yulara is breaking down barriers and giving local young people a culturally safe place to access the support and care they need.

"The Albanese Labor Government is investing in more headspace services in remote communities, including 20 new outreach services like this one."

The Government is investing more than $290 million into headspace. There are currently 172 headspace services open with a commitment to grow to 203.

Federal Minister for Indigenous Australians, Malarndirri McCarthy, said the Government is ensuring more First Nations young people have access to culturally safe, mental health support.

"The Mutitjulu and Yulara headspace outreach service is doing important work with supports that have been co-designed with community," Senator McCarthy said.

"Our young people need to know there is always support available."

As part of the Government's $1.1 billion mental health election commitment, more than $200 million will be invested in 58 new or expanded headspace services.

The commitment includes two new remote centres and 20 outreach services in rural and remote communities.
