Is headspace making a difference to young people’s lives?

Appendix B
following section.
Figure B12 SA1s within 10 and 30 km of an existing headspace centre in the Greater Sydney area
As evident in Figure B12 and Figure B13, the proportion of the youth population considered to have
access to headspace is substantially different depending on the definition of access applied. For
example, if access is defined as living within 10 km of a centre, following the conclusion of Round
14, 74% of young people have access to centre services. In contrast, if access is defined as living
within 30 km of a centre at the conclusion of Round 14, 92% of the population are considered to be
covered.
It is important to note that this analysis does not consider other elements of access, such as demand
and centre service capacity, which impact on the number of young people who are able to access
headspace services.
