Reviews
"I called their triage service this evening, as referred to by Beyond Blue. The woman I spoke to didn’t even care to listen about why I was calling. She kept repeating to me that I should refer the person I was concerned about back to their psychologist. I explained to her I had been referred by Beyond Blue, to which she responded “yeah…they refer everyone here”. Super helpful response I wanted to understand more about their service so I could provide that to the person I was supporting and was told that I “shouldn’t just call around to different services”. Had she allowed me to speak and explain the reason for my call, and ask the questions I had intended perhaps she would have been equipped to help me. I tried to explain that that the person in question was at risk of hurting themselves and others and I was advised their service couldn’t do anything to help (I wasn’t seeking crisis care, just to ascertain if they could help in any other way) and she dismissed me saying “call the police”. I’m glad I wasn’t a person who was struggling myself. Her behaviour was not only unprofessional, it was not trauma informed, helpful or empathic in any way. Very disappointing and very incapable."
"A very welcoming place for those who needs help. Staff and nurses are very caring and do the best they can to comfort patients. Parking is an issue as on-site parking is not for public. Cars can be parked along the street and ticket will need to be purchased. Ticket machine only accepts coins."
"I had the best experience when I was younger. Thanks to the psy & staff for their great efforts & time. & helping me become a better person. They really do a goodjob when you’re seeking for professional opinion. They will listen to you and help you engage with others with different activities. I would recommend to anyone who is struggling to come out their shell with them. Thank you again doctor Jasmine."
"Great place to visit, incredibly welcoming atmosphere and a Cafe to match. Not to mention some very friendly and helpful people who work towards improving accessibility, awareness and education surrounding youth mental health."
