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?

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