headspace Bondi Junction is located Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, traditionally owned by the Bidiagal, Birrabirragal and Gadigal people, to whom we are grateful for looking after this beautiful place, and each other for thousands of years.
We are located right beside Westfield Bondi Junction, and are less than a 5 minute walk from Bondi Junction train station. Check out the “Parking and Accessibility” section below for more info on how to get here.
We also provide initial consults from “The Hub” @ Lexo because we know it can be a bit difficult for young people to get all the way to Bondi Junction.
Call us on (02) 9366 8800 to have a chat and book yourself in, or if you have any questions!

headspace Bondi Junction is a place you can go to talk to someone about any of these issues.
When you first call/email to book:
When anyone calls up, generally we will ask what the nature of your call is. We will link you into the best support, to do this properly, the first step is to book you in - there are two likely options for this:
- Book in for a Treatment Planning Session (TPS) which will help us to listen to your concern and decide what form of care will be best for you
- Book in with a GP;
We will share a date and time with you for this session which is in person either at Bondi Junction headspace or at "The Hub" @ Lexo, and send this information in your welcome pack email.
From here we will send you 3 emails:
1. One contains a welcome pack with information for you and friends and family. (+date & time of appointment)
2. The second one is an Innowell questionaire which you are encouraged to complete the parts that feel relevant to you. This is a valuable resource for our team to ensure we support you in the best way possible. If you need help, you the video that walks you through the platform here: navigating the Innowell platform or call us back and ask for help.
3. The third is an invitation to create a headspace profile.
When you walk in to headspace Bondi Junction:
You will walk down the side entrance of the building and press the green button on your right to open the door (Its automatic). 
Once you are in the building, you will walk down a corridor to our reception area. You should definitely say hello to our friendly receptionists, Nik and Phoebe, who will be able to help you with all of your appointments, and any questions you have.
From there, you will likely be asked to fill out a hAPI survey at our hAPI Bar. This is a short survey and it helps us get ready for you, and make sure we're on the right track.
Once the forms are handled, your Youth Access Clinician (YAC), or GP, or other person you are here to see will come and get you and take you to one of our consultation rooms. While you're waiting in reception you can access our fridge which has free food for you to take if you want to. (This is an awesome initiative supported by Oz Harvest!)
Some of the rooms you may enter dependent on your appointment type include:
General Consultation
Family Room - used for family appointments
GP Clinic rooms
Depending on your appointment type, it is likely you will be about an hour. Once you have had your appointment, we will ask you to do a hAPI survey to see how we did, and you can rebook with us if you wish to.
If you are aged between 12-25 you do not need a formal referral.
Simply call or email to arrange an appointment with one of our friendly staff.

What is Brief BEeT?
Binge eating can get in the way of all aspects of life. Thinking about food and our bodies can take up
a lot of time and make us feel worried about things that used to make us happy.
Brief BEeT (Binge Eating eTherapy) is a free and confidential online program for young people aged
16 – 25 who are living with binge eating. Researchers and people with their own lived experience of
eating difficulties have contributed to this program, which is offered in partnership with InsideOut
Institute for Eating Disorders.
Brief BEeT can help you regain your life and get back into the things you enjoy. You will learn new
tools, skills and support along the way.
Brief BEeT (Self help online) can be done by yourself, or as Guided Brief BEeT (In Person) with the
support of a trained clinician at headspace Bondi Junction. Learn more about Brief BEeT.
What will I be doing in Guided Brief BEeT (In person)?
Guided Brief BEeT involves completing Brief BEeT modules online and attending weekly sessions
with a mental health clinician at headspace Bondi Junction. This program runs for approximately four
weeks and involves:
• Completing weekly online eTherapy 1-hour modules.
• Self-monitoring and goal setting through a Digital Toolbox.
• Weekly in-person 30-minute sessions with one of our mental health clinicians.
During your sessions, your headspace clinician is there to answer questions, discuss challenges, and
work with you to set goals for the next week. They will also review your questionnaires and Digital
Toolbox entries to monitor how you are going implementing the new skills you have learnt.
Due to the risk of physical health complications, it’s important to see a GP regularly. Let your
headspace clinician know if you don’t have a regular GP, or if you feel uncomfortable talking to your
current GP about what’s going on.
How do I get started with Guided Brief BEeT (In Person)?
To register for Guided Brief BEeT, get in touch and we will guide you through the process.
