HELP!!! Mental Health Centres?

HELP!!! Mental Health Centres?I am thinking about going to a mental health centre that is attached to a main hospital and I was wondering about what would happen to me while I was there? Like Physical Exams?, talking to the doctors, tests, etc. At what stage would they suggest to you that you should be admitted, and if you do what will happen then and how likely is it that you will get admitted?

Can someone please Help, I am scared about going but my friend has suggested I need to go becasue I have major depression and none of the treatments I have been on in the last 9 months have worked.

So Please help I am working myself up and I want to know why I am worrying, and if I am worrying about nothing
I am in Australia, I believe you can just walk into at least the emergency department of a hosptial.
