headspace renovations complete
In August we were excited to
announce the completion of our
expansion works at our Pall Mall
site. The works, done by the great
BLR Provincial Construction, have
allowed for more clinical spaces
and a dedicated student placement
hub. Again, we’d like to thank the
Commonwealth Government and
the Murray Primary Health Network for grant money,
and also Agnico Eagle Australia Community Partnership
Program for providing additional funds.
Happy 13th birthday to us!
In October we marked our coming of age with a 13th
birthday celebration attended by staff, the community
and our lead agency BCHS. We are proud to say that
since opening our doors in 2011 we have delivered over
50,000 appointments to more than 6525 individual young
people, their family and friends; we’re so happy to have
been able to help so many. Our birthday also coincided
with National headspace Day, so it was a perfect chance
to Pause. Reflect and Reconnect with so many of you by
opening our doors to showcase the wonderful work our
team does to support young people, their families and
friends in central Victoria.
Youth ambassadors
We are so grateful to our
youth ambassadors for their
continued support by
volunteering for our centre.
They’ve accomplished so
much, and a special shout
out to headspace Bendigo
youth ambassador Asher for
receiving the "Contribution
to the Community" Award at
the recent City of Greater
Bendigo Youth Awards. We
hope you know that your
contribution to making a
difference exemplifies the
spirit of community service.
We recognise the wonderful work you do in our youth
ambassador group, supporting our diversity groups and
your role working with Keep In Touch as a crew member.
