headspace is the National Youth Mental Health Foundation providing early intervention mental health services to 12-25-year-olds from over 110 centres across Australia, and through the eheadspace national online and phone support service.
headspace centres act as a one-stop shop, providing free (or low cost) support for young people who need help with mental health, physical health (including sexual health), alcohol and other drugs or work and study support.
At the heart of headspace centres is ensuring young people can access expert health workers in a safe, confidential and youth-friendly environment.
headspace is committed to embracing diversity and eliminating all forms of discrimination in the provision of health services. We welcome all people irrespective of ethnicity, lifestyle choice, faith, sexual orientation and gender identity.
The operation of headspace Bairnsdale is possible through the collaboration and contribution of a range of local service providers, led by Relationships Australia Victoria, forming the headspace Bairnsdale/Sale Consortium.
headspace Bairnsdale is operated by Relationships Australia Victoria. All headspace services are funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care. Administration of funding is carried out by the headspace centre’s local Primary Health Network, in this case, Gippsland Primary Health Network.
