Mental health and access to care in Bondi Junction
Bondi Junction is a densely populated metropolitan centre in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. The 2021 Census recorded 10,361 residents in the Bondi Junction suburb and locality, with a median age of 35. The community is internationally diverse: 42.0% of residents were born in Australia, while 59.7% reported that both parents were born overseas. This diversity supports the importance of clear communication, culturally responsive care and the ability to consider practitioner fit when seeking mental-health support.
The Census also recorded 594 Bondi Junction residents, or 5.7% of the local population, who reported a long-term mental-health condition including depression or anxiety. This is a self-reported Census measure. It is not a clinical diagnosis, a current prevalence estimate or a count of everyone who may need psychological support, but it provides direct local evidence that mental health is relevant to households across the suburb.
Bondi Junction has significant mental-health infrastructure locally and within the surrounding Eastern Suburbs. The wider Eastern Suburbs–North area has a comparatively high concentration of psychologists, so access should not be characterised simply as a lack of professionals. Practical barriers may instead include cost, finding a practitioner with the right expertise, navigating referral pathways and locating appointments that fit around work, caring or other responsibilities. Bondi Junction’s housing profile is also relevant: most residents live in apartments, approximately one-third of households are occupied by one person and more than one-quarter of occupied dwellings had no registered motor vehicle in 2021.
Telehealth psychology may help some residents access a broader choice of practitioners without travelling across Sydney. It can also reduce transport, parking and scheduling pressures. However, video appointments are not suitable for every person or clinical situation, and residents need an appropriately private setting, suitable technology and a service matched to their needs and level of risk.
Public pathways include the Bondi Junction Mental Health Centre, headspace Bondi Junction for people aged 12–25 and the Bondi Medicare Mental Health Centre for free adult mental-health support without a referral or appointment. Acute and hospital-based services are available through Prince of Wales Hospital. Therapy Near Me does not replace a GP, psychiatrist, hospital, public mental-health team or crisis service. Anyone in immediate danger should call 000. The NSW Mental Health Line is available on 1800 011 511, and Lifeline provides 24-hour crisis support on 13 11 14.
Data note: Population, housing and long-term health-condition figures are from the 2021 ABS Census for Bondi Junction Suburb and Locality, SAL10465. Workforce and service-access findings relate to wider Eastern Suburbs or Central and Eastern Sydney geographic areas and do not directly measure the Bondi Junction suburb.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use telehealth if I live in the Eastern Suburbs?
Do I need a referral to book?
No referral is needed. You can book directly online at therapynearme.com.au or by calling 1800 632 763. A GP Mental Health Treatment Plan or eligible referral is required only if you wish to claim Medicare rebates, and rebates apply to eligible practitioners and session types only.
How do Medicare rebates work for psychology sessions?
If your GP, psychiatrist, or paediatrician considers it appropriate, they can prepare a Mental Health Treatment Plan that may make you eligible to claim Medicare rebates when seeing an eligible registered psychologist. Rebates do not apply to every session type or every practitioner. Confirm your eligibility with your GP and current rebate amounts with Services Australia at servicesaustralia.gov.au.
How do NDIS participants access services?
Eligible NDIS participants may be able to use their plan funding for psychology, counselling, or behaviour support where the support is reasonable and necessary, related to their disability support needs, and included under the relevant funding category. We work with self-managed and plan-managed participants. In-clinic, telehealth, and At-home or community-based services may involve travel charges, depending on the participant’s location, funding arrangements, and applicable NDIS pricing rules. Any expected travel charges should be explained before confirming an appointment.
Do you support children and families with ADHD or autism?
Yes. Our Parramatta team has experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD and autism. Support options include psychological therapy, Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBA), and Positive Behaviour Support Plans (PBSP). We work closely with families and carers throughout the process. Sessions are available in-clinic, via telehealth, or as at-home visits.
Do your practitioners speak languages other than English?
How soon can I book an appointment?
Appointment availability varies by practitioner and session type. Telehealth appointments are generally more flexible as clients are not limited to local in-person availability. In-person appointments are subject to individual practitioner availability. Contact our team on 1800 632 763 or book online to check current availability.
Are the mental-health statistics on this page specific to Bondi Junction?
The figure of 594 residents reporting a long-term mental-health condition is specific to the ABS-defined Bondi Junction suburb and locality, SAL10465. It is a self-reported Census measure rather than a clinical prevalence estimate. Psychologist-density and other regional access figures apply to wider Eastern Suburbs or Central and Eastern Sydney areas and should not be presented as Bondi Junction suburb statistics.
What public mental-health services are available in Bondi Junction?
Bondi Junction Mental Health Centre provides local public community mental-health services. People aged 12–25 can contact headspace Bondi Junction, while adults can approach the Bondi Medicare Mental Health Centre for free support without requiring a formal referral or appointment. Acute and hospital-based pathways are available through Prince of Wales Hospital in Randwick. Eligibility, operating hours and addresses should be checked directly before attendance.
Can Bondi Junction residents access a psychologist by telehealth?
Yes. Therapy Near Me provides telehealth psychology appointments Australia-wide.
