Safe Space Caboolture is proudly funded by Brisbane North Primary Health Network

About

Safe Space Caboolture is a warm, welcoming, non-clinical place that people can freely go to if they are experiencing suicidal thoughts, emotional distress, mental health concerns, isolation or loneliness. It is an effective and accessible alternative to the local hospital department. No appointment is needed, and services are free of charge. Ages 16+.

Safe Spaces provide a place for people experiencing suicidal thoughts and feelings or emotional distress to access support when they need it, in a calm and caring environment. They are a collaborative and innovative concept that works for the local community they are situated in. The space and support available have been designed in partnership with people who have been through tough times themselves and understand what does and doesn’t work.

The Caboolture Medicare Mental Health Centre is operated by Stride and supported by funding from Brisbane North Primary Health Network.

About

Caboolture Medicare Mental Health Centre is here to make it easier to access the mental health support you need, when you need it. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, going through a difficult time, or simply need someone to talk to, our team is here to help, no referral required.

We offer free, face-to-face support for adults aged 18 and over, including peer support and help connecting with other services in the community.

We’ll take the time to understand what you’re going through and work with you to find the kind of support that fits your life. You don’t need to have everything figured out. We’re here to work through it with you.

Our Caboolture team includes dedicated and compassionate mental health professionals, from clinicians to peer workers and support staff. Each person brings their own experience and expertise, but we all share one goal: to make sure you feel safe, supported, and heard.

What to expect

When you come to the Caboolture Medicare Mental Health Centre, you’ll be welcomed into a friendly and inclusive space where you can feel safe, respected, and supported. There’s no pressure or judgment, just a team ready to listen and walk alongside you at your own pace.

At your first visit, you’ll sit down for a relaxed chat with one of our team members. We’ll talk about how you’re feeling and what kind of support could be most helpful for you. You may meet with a mental health clinician, a peer worker with lived experience, or a support team member. Everything you share is private and confidential, and you’re welcome to bring a support person along if that helps you feel more at ease.

Telehealth may be available if required.
