If the client's issues include, but are not solely related to, drugs and alcohol you may still refer them to us.

Please be aware that there is currently a wait list for some types of referrals. Although we cannot currently give you an indication of when an appointment may be available, we are endeavouring to see clients as quickly as possible. We thank you for your patience.

If the client is unable to wait for an appointment, please contact a local GP who formulates mental health plans. They can then refer the client to a psychologist through the Medicare scheme. Please be aware that not all GPs do mental health plans. This includes the female GP who attends our office 2 days a week.
