About Strathpine Safe Space

Strathpine Safe Space is a free walk-in service that offers a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment for people experiencing distress or suicidal crisis.  

The service is a peer-led alternative to the hospital emergency department, staffed by people who have their own experiences relating to distress and/or suicide.  

Our team of peer workers provide non-judgemental support to help you keep yourself safe and problem-solve. They can also connect you with other services.  

A clinician is available to support guests as needed.  

Safe Space is open from 5pm-9pm on weekdays and 3pm-7pm on weekends and public holidays. 

 

Who is this for?

If you’re experiencing distress or feeling overwhelmed and in need of support, you’re welcome at Strathpine Safe Space. 

The service is free and available to people of all ages. You don’t need an appointment, referral or Medicare card. 

Please call us on 07 3493 6710 before coming to the service if you can, to ensure we can see you straight away. 

If you need help getting here, please call us to talk through options.
