Princess Alexandra Hospital Crisis Support Space

The Princess Alexandra Hospital Crisis Support Space offers a dedicated environment for people experiencing emotional or suicidal distress. Located in Woolloongabba, this service operates as a collaborative partnership between Metro South Health and community organisations. It provides a non-clinical setting where individuals can receive support from peer workers with lived experience. The facility aims to reduce the pressure on hospital emergency departments while offering a more comfortable space for those in need of immediate mental health assistance. Residents in the Woolloongabba area can access this service near the PA Hospital campus, which is situated a short distance from The Gabba stadium. The space focuses on person-centred care and provides short-term support to help individuals de-escalate during a crisis. Staff members work with visitors to develop safety plans and connect them with ongoing community resources. This service represents a shift towards compassionate, accessible mental health care within the local health district.
