The centre provides:
- Psychological therapy and counselling for individuals and couples
- Family relationship counselling

- Employment services
- Social activity groups (including cultural, creative and sporting activities)
The staff at the centre have been specially chosen for their identification with the community and their depth of experience working with LGBTI people.
Medicare bulk billing is available to patients with a mental health treatment plan and a referral from a GP or other clinician. Fees are also available for rebates through many private health insurance funds.
We all know the effect mental illness has on our community, so if you’re thinking about getting some help, this is your sign.
