YOUTH HEALTH
Providing primary health care for young people
Appointments available with GPs and nurse practitioners
The Junction staff work as part of a multi-disciplinary team to deliver holistic care. The team includes GPs, nurses, youth workers and our receptionist to help support young people. Services include smoking cessation support, sexual education and STI management, baby and early childhood health checks, mental health care, antenatal shared care and health education.
Our experienced GPs offer full primary care services in a well-equipped practice and have additional specialist skills in mental health, drug and alcohol assessments and reproductive healthcare.

Our opening hours are 9.30am - 5.00pm Monday - Friday.
To make healthcare and support services even more accessible, The Junction is now going mobile! The Junction Youth Outreach Van goes out twice a week to support anyone who might struggle to make it all the way into the City for an appointment. The Van is staffed by a Doctor and a Nurse or Youth Worker. No appointments needed and new patients are welcome, just turn up during our hours.
