Young people in Sydney's Inner West now have a bigger and better headspace centre, with the official opening of the expanded headspace in Ashfield.
headspace Ashfield has relocated to Level 2, 320 Liverpool Road, giving more young people and their families access to free mental health support, close to home.
The Albanese Labor Government has invested almost $1 million for the new premises which offers individual and group therapy space. The new premises will also provide more opportunities to expand GP, psychiatry and student placement programs.
headspace provides a safe and welcoming space for young people to access support and care across four key areas - mental health, physical and sexual health, work and study, and alcohol and other drug services.
There are currently 175 headspace services nationally, with a commitment to expand to 203 locations.
In the last year, headspace Ashfield supported 635 young people, including providing 4,155 occasions of care.
headspace Ashfield will soon be upgraded to headspace Plus, expanding support for young people with more ongoing and complex needs.
headspace Ashfield is funded by the Albanese Labor Government, commissioned by Central Eastern Sydney Primary Health Network and operated by New Horizons.
