We had a full house for the celebration of our new renovations at headspace Elsternwick.
Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) members, peer workers, clinical and operational staff, along with special guests Federal Member for Macnamara Josh Burns MP, Alfred Health Chief Executive Adjunct Prof Adam Horsburgh, headspace COO Julia Smith, South Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network CEO Quinn Pawson, gathered to check out the new space.
The renovation improved soundproofing, created a more welcoming space, and increased our capacity to see more young people.

YAC member Sophie McKenzie-Stripp said being in the new space, co-designed with the YAC, was “an amazing feeling”.
“We helped shape this headspace centre into a place that we as young people see ourselves reflected in,” she said. “These new communal areas will help take away that isolating, shameful feeling that can come with seeking mental health support and will allow us to host so many activities for young people coming to the space.”
