We understand that asking for help when you're not feeling yourself can sometimes be difficult or uncomfortable. Because of this, we have made our referral process as easy as possible.

If you are aged 12-25 years:

• Give us a call, shoot us an email, or pop into the office during business hours to enquire about booking an appointment
• You can refer yourself or family members, friends, schools, GP's and other organisations can refer you (with your consent)
• If you are under 15 years of age, we will need a parent or guardian to consent to you receiving support through headspace Inala. We also encourage you to bring a parent, guardian or support person along to your first appointment
