Throughout the Gold Coast there are many services on offer for children and families requiring care and support. The team at H2HK-Q Gold Coast may refer you onto another service if more appropriate care and support is required. H2HK- Q Gold Coast works with many of these community providers to enhance support and resources available to address the diverse needs of our community.
Occasionally, children and their families may be referred into a public hospital and health service to receive a higher level of care, or ongoing care for an extended period. The two main tertiary sector services to which H2HK-Q Gold Coast is likely to refer to include Gold Coast Health's Child Development Services (CDS) and Child and Youth Mental Health Services (CYMHS).
