In this podcast, we sit down with Social Worker Katie, andClinical Nurse Consultant Jacinta, from Clare House to talk about what’s really at stake for Tasmania’s young people.

CYMHS is a lifeline for children, young people and familiesacross the state, delivering critical mental health care through a dedicated, multidisciplinary team. But workers are deeply concerned that the proposed move away from Clare House could undermine the quality of care.

The current site provides a purpose-built, therapeuticenvironment, with green space, natural light and a calm, welcoming atmosphere that supports recovery. An office-based CBD location simply cannot replicate the care and much-needed serenity required for the young people.

This is about protecting safe, accessible, and effectivemental health care for young Tasmanians.
