What kind of things can you help with?
We can help with all sorts of things. Here are some common examples of things young people talk to us about:
- feeling down, stressed or can't stop worrying
- not feel like yourself at the moment
- having a hard time with work, study, or finances
- cutting down on drinking or other drug use
- want to talk about sexuality, identity, or relationships
- having difficulties with friendships or parents/carers
- feeling lonely, disconnected, or just want to make some friends
- being bullied, hurt, or harassed
- just need someone to talk to
If what you want to talk to us about isn't something we can help with, don't worry! We will help you find the right service.
How old do I have to be?
headspace provides services to young people between the ages of 12 and 25, and anyone supporting them.
How much does it cost?
All services at headspace are completely free.
Do I need a Medicare Card?
No, a Medicare card is not required.
Do I need to be an Australian citizen?
No, we are open to anyone ages 12 to 25, regardless of background.
Can parents/carers come along for appointments?
It's up to you! It's great if parents/carers can come and support, but we also understand this may be difficult. You may want to bring someone else that you feel comfortable with, or you can also attend by yourself if you choose to.
Do I have to tell my parents that I'm coming to headspace?
If you're 18 and over, you do not have to tell your parents.
If you're 16 or 17, you usually do not have to tell your parents. If you give us a ring or shoot us an email, we can give you more information.
If you're under 16, it depends on your situation. We may ask for another responsible adult in your life to be involved, such as a sibling or a teacher. If you give us a ring or shoot us an email, we can give you more information.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
No, but you're welcome to bring a notebook if you find it useful, or a fidget or comfort object.
Do I need a referral to come?
No, you do not need a formal referral. You can refer yourself, or someone else can refer you, such as a family member or carer, a friend, or a GP or other professional. You can fill out the referral form above, or give us a call, shoot us an email, or drop in to the centre to chat to someone.
Will you tell people what I say?
No, we will (almost) never tell anyone what you've told us. However, there are a few exceptions:
- Counsellors might discuss things you've told us with each other. This just helps us give you the best possible care.
- If we are worried about your safety or someone else's safety, we might have to tell someone else. This will never happen without your knowledge, and we will always try to make a plan that works best for you.
- Counsellors might be required by law to share your information in very specific circumstances. Once again, we will talk to you before doing this.
What if I'm not ready to speak to someone face-to-face?
If you're going through a tough time and you're not ready to chat to someone face-to-face, eheadspace provides confidential online web-chat and telephone mental health support 7 days a week. To access eheadspace for the first time, all you need to do is to create your headspace account or phone 1800 650 890.
Do you have a waiting list?
Our waiting list is usually shorter than many other services - usually about 2 to 6 weeks from your first call to your first appointment. Give us a call or shoot us an email to check our current wait times.
I'm a parent/carer. I want my young person to come to headspace, but they don't want to. What do I do?
We are an entirely voluntary service, which means that we need the young person's consent to see them. If your young person is nervous, they may want to chat to one of our counsellors in a less formal way - they might prefer to come to one of our groups, chat to a clinician on the phone, or pop in to see the centre in person. If they still don't want to come, we would suggest getting some advice/support from organisations such as Helping Minds.
