Headspace Mackay Celebrates New Location At Caneland Central

Headspace Mackay has officially relocated to Caneland Central, on the second level, Tenancy 2514 - opposite Snap Fitness - making mental health support even more accessible for local youth. The grand opening on November 14 featured tours, guest speakers, snacks and a very welcoming atmosphere for all.

The new space, funded by the North Queensland Primary Health Network (NQPHN), is designed to provide a more inclusive and accessible environment for young people aged 12-25. Headspace offers free services, including counselling, work and study support, as well as social groups. With referrals doubling since the move, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

"Being at Caneland Central means we’re closer to where young people gather, with great public transport and easy parking for families,” said Administration Coordinator Jonathan Greenhalgh.

“Parents love the convenience, and young people find the space cozy and welcoming,” he added.
