Therapy Services
Based in Gosford and Tuggerah our Therapy Services team offers counselling, speech pathology, occupational therapy, specialist behaviour support, psychology and social work.
Our practitioners have a range of skills and expertise to suit children, youth and adults across every stage of their lives. We have strong networks across our communities and are happy to connect you to the right professionals so you can live meaningful happy lives.
We also provide non-accredited training in trauma and critical supports, behaviour support strategies, grief and loss, communication and more.
People can self refer, or we accept third party referrals from other services, including Medicare Care Plans and NDIS Plans. These services do attract a fee, which can be offset through Medicare. For special circumstances we do have a limited number of subsidised sessions available with a current Medicare Care Plan from a GP and subject to eligibility criteria. Please call us to discuss.
* Please note NDIS services are scheduled to commence in April 2020.
IMPORTANT COVID-19 UPDATE:
Due to the social isolation recommendations and an encouragement for people to remain away from public places, we have made the hard decision to suspend our face-to-face therapy services at this time.
Where people are already engaged in services, your practitioner will contact you to confirm if it is possible to conduct sessions over the phone or video conferencing (eg. Facetime, Zoom, Skype etc).
We have packs that can be available to allow most face to face therapies to continue via video link, and assist people in practicing techniques in the home. If not, then alternatives will be discussed such as suspending services temporarily, and resuming as soon as it is advisable to do so.
Medicare rebated services are available in some cases, and we are able to invoice for sessions so payments are easy and your services can continue. We are committed to making sure everyone has access to the services they need and thank you for your understanding at this time.
