About
We're a place where young people who are going through a tough time can get support.
We provide a safe and confidential environment for young people to access services across four areas:
- physical health
- mental health
- alcohol and other drugs support
- work and study assistance
We bulk bill all appointments - which means that there will be no out of pocket costs to you. All you need to do is bring your medicare card along with you. If you don't have a medicare card, don't panic. Simply have a conversation with the worker who takes your referral and they will discuss some options with you. Additionally, our centre is wheelchair friendly, with disabled parking available to cater for every young person's needs.
