This is a care plan written together with your Doctor during an appointment at your medical clinic. We accept these treatment plans and we ALWAYS encourage you to get checked out with a Doctor if you are experiencing physical or mental health symptoms. BUT these treatment plans are not required in the first instance to access headspace Berri. Often we help young people to access a low-cost Doctor if you don't have one, and we will help you apply for a Medicare Card, if you don't have one. Please note that if you access your Doctor for a Mental Health Treatment Plan, you should check with your clinic about costs/fees you will incur. You'll also need a Medicare Card. Referral Information
The first step is to complete and return the headspace Berri referral form which can be found on our website. You can also be referred by your Doctor with a Mental Health Treatment Plan. A parent, friend, teacher or other trusted person can also refer you with your permission. We are a voluntary service, which means no-one can make you visit headspace. Once we receive your referral, a member of our Youth Access Team will make contact with you by phone and arrange a time for you to either come into our centre or have a chat over the phone for an initial assessment. This assessment will ask you some questions about what is happening for you and what kind of support you are looking for. From here you will join our waiting list for the next available spot to meet with a Clinician. Waiting list times vary and can depend on lots of factors. While you are on the waiting list our Youth Access Team will check in on you every four weeks, or more if otherwise arranged. Terms of Use:
