The full-service headspace is due to open by December 2023. We are seeking a service provider that can deliver high quality, effective and timely youth friendly services to the Hawkesbury community, in line with the headspace centre service model.

Hawkesbury youth have been through so much, from drought to bushfires, a pandemic and multiple floods. These events have had a profound impact on our youth, and we know that headspace services play an important role in supporting young people and their mental health. We have been advocating for additional youth mental health services in our region for some time and are thrilled that we can now take the next step in meeting the needs of the Hawkesbury community.

The centre will support early intervention, detection and treatment for young people aged 12-25 at risk of or experiencing issues with mental health, physical and sexual health, alcohol and other drugs, as well assistance with vocational and educational services.

We invite service providers interested in responding to the tender to an online information session on Tuesday 13 December, at 10:00am - 11:00am. Speakers will include representatives from our organisation, as well as headspace National. The session will provide organisations with an overview of the tender process and an opportunity to ask questions.

Tender applications close 5:00pm Monday 30 January 2023. For more information or to apply visit our website.

If community members, particularly young people, want to participate in any consultations or be kept up-to-date about headspace Hawkesbury, you can register through HealthHub.
