Stand for Youth Health
We Did It!
Thanks to our community’s strong voice, and with the backing of three strong local members standing together, Townsville has secured a brand-new Youth
Step Up, Step Down facility.
Together, we showed that when our community speaks up, real change happens.
This is a big win for youth mental health, and I will keep fighting for more services and support for our region.

Time To Step Up Together
Local Care That Changes Lives
Local Care That Changes Lives
Right now, too many young people in our region are falling through the cracks when it comes to mental health support.
We don’t have a dedicated local service that helps teenagers step out of crisis care and into long-term recovery. That gap puts pressure on families, on frontline workers, and on our hospital system.
Thuringowa needs a Youth Step Up Step Down facility. A safe place where young people can recover with the right support, close to home.

A Youth Step Up Step Down service is a short-term, residential facility that helps young people recover in the community, instead of being sent to hospital or left to cope alone.
It gives structure, clinical support and connection when it’s needed most. It works alongside local services and keeps families involved. Rockhampton is getting one.
Thuringowa should too.
