More information
For most services at headspace Hamilton you do not need a Medicare card.
In cases where it may be needed, many young people are listed on a parent's Medicare card, and we can look up your Medicare number without needing the physical card.
Young people aged 15 and above can apply for your own Medicare card if you wish to. Fill out the Medicare enrolment 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 258 Gray Street, Hamilton.
Please note: If you need a Medicare card and don't have access to one, please contact us and we will assist where possible.
Everyone is welcome at headspace. It’s okay to feel nervous, we are here to help you feel comfortable, safe and listened to.
We have a spacious waiting area and friends or family can either wait here or join you during your appointment if you would like them to.
During your first appointment you will have a friendly and confidential chat with one of our team to share what’s impacting you, talk about goals and how we can support you. Appointments take up to 1 hour and there is some brief paperwork to complete.
This Welcome Pack – Young People introduces you to our headspace services and provides answers to frequently asked questions.
Family and friends also play an important role in a young person’s journey. This Welcome Pack – Family and Friends introduces those important to you to our services and how they can provide and find further support and resources.
