headspace Bairnsdale

We are the lead agency for the headspace centre in Bairnsdale, Victoria.


headspace is the National Youth Mental Health Foundation providing early intervention mental health services to 12-25-year-olds from over 110 centres across Australia, and through the eheadspace national online and phone support service.

headspace centres act as a one-stop shop, providing free (or low cost) support for young people who need help with mental health, physical health (including sexual health), alcohol and other drugs or work and study support.

At the heart of headspace centres is ensuring young people can access expert health workers in a safe, confidential and youth-friendly environment.
headspace is committed to embracing diversity and eliminating all forms of discrimination in the provision of health services. We welcome all people irrespective of ethnicity, lifestyle choice, faith, sexual orientation and gender identity.
