Counselling

WOMENS HEALTH SERVICES provides a professional counselling service for women over the age of eighteen. Counselling is short term and available for such issues as depression, anxiety and panic attacks, relationships and past trauma.

The cost of individual counselling sessions are:

$40 for women working full time

$20 for women working part-time

$10 for women who do not work or have a concession card.

Fees can be negotiated based on financial hardship. Women can be referred to counselling by a doctor, agency or health practitioner or women can self-refer. There is a waiting list for appointments, which is usually about eight weeks. Counsellors are also available to run workshops and give talks to community groups on mental health issues.

CAHP is a special program for women who have experienced trauma of some kind whilst seeing a health professional. This is a free service. For more information or to make an appointment, please contact Dianne on 9227 8122
