Guidance Counsellor's News

Headspace is Australia’s National Youth Mental Health Foundation, providing early intervention mental health services to 12-25 year olds.

Headspace Capalaba Centre offers a range of services to young people living in the Redlands and surrounding areas.

Some of the services offered at the Centre include support regarding:

  • Physical & sexual health
  • Mental health
  • Alcohol & other drugs and
  • Work & study groups

What happens when you refer a young person?

Once a referral is received, the young person will get a call within a week. During that call, a time is scheduled for the young person to have an intake discussion with one of the clinicians. This can be over the phone or face-to-face.

What are our current wait times? (as at February 2025)

Following the intake discussion, depending on the level of service that best meets the young person’s needs, they will be booked for appointments within 1-3 months.

**Please note that wait times may vary from week to week – please contact the centre for the latest update.

How to make a referral?

  1. Self referral: A young person can self refer by calling or emailing the centre or dropping into the centre.
  2. Friends or family: A young person's friend or family member can also refer them.

For further information about their services, including location and opening times, please visit the website - headspace.org.au/headspace-centres/capalaba/ 

or call 1300 851 274 or visit them at 1/29-37 Moreton Bay Road, Capalaba, Queensland 4157.
