Australia has a large culturally and linguistically diverse population, with many residents born overseas, or originating from non-English speaking countries and/or families. 

headspace is an inclusive service for young people of all faiths, ethnicities, races and backgrounds.

Most headspace services are provided in English, however we are fortunate to have Mandarin, Japanese, Spanish and Greek speaking staff at headspace Box Hill.

If you require access to a interpreter via phone or for in-person services, that can also be arranged via Translating and Interpreting Service.

headspace Box Hill can have a presence at your school, university, sporting club, event, festival, community day or wherever you see fit!
