School Based Youth Health Clinics

The school based youth health clinics are aimed at reaching young people aged between 13-18 utilising a model that addresses healthy youth development and enhances resiliency and risk reduction.

The school based youth health clinics have friendly staff who are experienced and professional, who are dedicated to giving young people the best advice and service that is both confidential and free. The HealthWEST team consists of five doctors, one social worker and a nurse specialist.

A collaborative approach is taken working in partnership with other services to provide comprehensive care.
