Mental Health Services

Having good mental health and solid relationships are important for everyone. After all, we are social animals. Good mental health means being able to cope with the stresses of daily life, work productively, and enjoy our leisure time. Strong relationships provide love, support, and a sense of belonging.

Psychology Services

Clients can access up to 10 Psychology services in a calendar year via a referral and a Mental Health Care Plan prepared by a GP. The fee per session offset by Medicare’s Better Access Scheme, with clients only out of pocket approximately $45.

Those clients without a Mental Health Care Plan, access to EAP or other pathway to seeing a clinician can engage with psychology services privately via Centacare’s General Counselling services.

Clients can choose to access services in person or via telehealth. Fees per session are paid for by the client as they complete each session.

Referrals are open (with no age restrictions), so they can come from any source including self referrals.

GambleAware

The new GambleAware program is a stepped care mental health model aimed at supporting anyone affected by gambling harm or at risk of developing issues with gambling. This can include the gambler themselves as well as any friends or relatives. As gambling harm is usually associated with other underlying issues such as depression, anxiety and trauma, clients accessing support through this program receive holistic mental health support and/or Financial Counselling with trained professionals.

Referrals are open (with no age restrictions), so they can come from any source including self referrals.

Centacare NENW provides this program across the Hunter New England Local Health District in partnership with Centacare Hunter Manning.
