Are you or someone you know: feeling down, stressed or worried, wanting to talk about sexuality, gender identity or relationships? Finding it hard to deal with study or work? Wanting to cut down drinking or drug use? Wanting to discuss your physical health? Or anything else you might need support with?

More information
Everybody is welcome at headspace Devonport
Our general mental health service offers short-terms services for young people experiencing mild to moderate difficulties.
All services at headspace are bulk-billed (free) for Australian citizens or permanent residents through Medicare (click here for further information), and to anyone else through arrangement with our Lead Agent, Cornerstone Youth Services. Our headspace website also has additional information here.
This card is your golden ticket to seeing doctors and other services for free (or low-cost). With your own Medicare card you'll be able to get support for your own wellbeing – like going to a psychologist or getting a sexual health check up. With your own card you’ll be able to control who you share your appointment history with. It can seem a little tricky to navigate.
