Fifteen new sites and two new outpost sites for the successful headspace youth mental health program have recently been announced.
The new locations will take the number of headspace sites around the country to 55. An additional 35 locations will be announced over the next four years. Headspace is funded as part of the Government's $2.2 billion Delivering mental health reform package, with $197.3 million being allocated over five years to expand the number of headspace sites to 90. This brings the Government's total investment in headspace services to $359 million. Once up and running, the 90 sites will annually help up to 72,000 young Australians, including Indigenous youth.
Also beginning today, headspace will provide free, confidential and anonymous counselling services over the phone or online to young people between the ages of 12 and 25 years with, or at risk of developing, a mild to moderate mental illness.
Eheadspace will be an integral supplement to headspace sites, extending the reach of the model to more young people, particularly kids in regional and remote Australia.
