Kambu Health – Laidley
About Kambu Health – Laidley
Laidley, in the Lockyer Valley, is home to one of Kambu Health’s clinics, an Aboriginal community-controlled health service that works across Ipswich and West Moreton. Free alcohol and other drug counselling and family support are offered there to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, without any referral.
Kambu’s approach is culturally appropriate, prevention-oriented care for individuals and whole families, so counselling about substance use sits within ordinary primary health care rather than in a separate programme. The Patrick Street clinic opens six days a week, Monday to Saturday from 8:00am to 4:00pm, and the number is (07) 5465 3541.

Kambu Health Counselling Services
Kambu Health’s Laidley clinic provides counselling for alcohol and other drug concerns, individual sessions plus family therapy, as its one level of care. A family programme is listed alongside, which matters in a rural district where relatives often attend together and travel is shared.
The research names no medications, withdrawal service, group programme or rehabilitation stay at Laidley, and no specific substances or assessment tools are given. Counselling is free and open to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients without a referral; ask the clinic which Kambu site or outside service takes over if more intensive treatment is needed.

How Much Does Treatment at Kambu Health Cost?
Counselling at Kambu Health’s Laidley clinic costs nothing. The service is government-funded, so Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients pay no fee for individual alcohol and other drug counselling, for family therapy, or for the family support programme listed alongside them.
Nothing in the research names a private fee, a Medicare gap payment, an NDIS plan or a WorkCover claim for this clinic. In the Lockyer Valley the real cost is usually getting there, so ask whether an appointment can be fitted around a Saturday visit. The clinic can confirm what is covered.

Kambu Health Reviews
Public reviews of Kambu Health’s Laidley clinic are scarce, as small rural clinics rarely attract online comment and the counselling service is a quiet part of what the organisation does. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for this site, and anyone who has attended is welcome to share their experience.
For someone in the Lockyer Valley weighing up whether to ring, the helpful things to know are how soon a counsellor was available, whether sessions felt culturally safe, and how the clinic handled family members coming along. A short account from a former client would answer all three.
Dr Andrews is not right for mob he is condescending and judgemental, a cold and flu doctor that likes to play God, my mob will be leaving kambu Laidley services
Great integrated team focused on total patient care and supported by a huge range of visiting specialist services.
