At Rosewood State High School, we have a School Based Youth Health Nurse who is an employee of Queensland Health.

Young people have a right to confidentiality when accessing health services. As a health service provider the Youth Health Nurse respects this but, in the Education system, there are some things that the nurse must refer or act upon. Please discuss what can be expected and confidentiality at the time of your appointment. The SBYHN service is a voluntary program and students are able to decide if and when they visit Belinda. Students can also be referred to Belinda by the school Guidance Officer. Belinda can be contacted by phone on (07) 5461 9424.
