At headspace Echuca we are committed to providing the best care, as close to home as possible. To support this, we have introduced the possibility of telehealth videocalls as an option. Using telehealth, you can have an appointment with your headspace Echuca worker by using our videocall platform. You can do this from your home, at your school, local health service or any location with a reliable internet connection.

Telehealth appointments will only be available where suitable and must be requested and booked in advance through our centre.

headspace Echuca wants to let young people know when, how and where in the community to seek help for mental health problems. So we undertake community awareness activities to help increase the knowledge of young people, their  friends, families and the broader community.   

headspace Echuca aims to

• improve the mental, social and emotional wellbeing of young people
• increase the level of mental health literacy available
• help people to understand, identify and respond to mental health needs of young people
• support and encourage active youth and carer participation through reference groups

We also create partnerships with local organisations, networks and educational settings to work toward reducing levels of stigma and discrimination associated with seeking help for mental health problems.

If you have a event that you want headspace Echuca to attend, a newsletter we can contribute to, or want us to come and speak with your group, please fill out this Community Engagement form. You can also contact our Community Awareness and Engagement Worker, Jayden Howe on 5485 5048 or via jhowe@erh.org.au and we'll contact you to discuss how we can help with your request.  

Please be mindful that we are also a very busy organisation and would appreciate at least 4 weeks notice prior to your event to help us prepare adequately in supporting you, you families and young people. 

For almost all services at headspace Echuca, you do not need a medicare card. 

If you need to see our GP, you will need to have access to medicare. 
Please note: even if you don't have access to a medicare card, please contact us on 5485 5048 and we will assist where possible. 

Many young people are listed on a parent/guardian's medicare card, and we can look up your medicare number without needing the physical card.

For young people aged 15 and above, you can apply for your own medicare card if you want to.

Fill out the medicare application form and return this form with ID (such as your birth certificate or student ID) to the medicare service centre.

Our local medicare service centre is in the same building as Centrelink at 69 Heygarth St, Echuca VIC 3564

At headspace Echuca we welcome and value all types of feedback, so that we can continually improve our service for young people. Please let us know what you thought about your experience at headspace Echuca by completing this feedback form.
