New Directions expanding availability for Telehealth Services

​

New Directions has been providing private and convenient Telehealth services since the COVID pandemic, in line with Federal Government initiatives to provide increased, accessible psychological services to all.

​

Telehealth psychology services offer many advantages, including increased access, convenience, and comfort.

​

Telehealth makes it easier for clients to access therapy, regardless of their location, providing there is an internet connection or phone access.

​

Telehealth can also provide a space where clients can open up in a more familiar and secure setting. And Telehealth can reduce the chances of missing a session for reasons like illness, travel, or bad weather.

​

Due to the flexibility of the service, waitlists to see a clinician at the clinic may be shorter if you are prepared to engage in therapy via Telehealth.

​

All individuals with a current GP Mental Health Care Plan, attending under DVA (with pre-approval), WORKCOVER referrals or under NDIS funding arrangements can access psychological therapy via TELEHEALTH, as a videoconference or telephone consult (dependent upon third party guidelines). Additionally, privately funded clients and those with private health insurance (dependent upon health insurers guidelines) are also able to access psychological services via TELEHEALTH.

​

Please contact the clinic on 3376 1977 or via email if you require further information for accessing ongoing and new psychological services under these referrals and/or as a private paying client.
