EMPHN wishes to notify referrers about changes to the Psychosocial Support Service (PSS) program waitlist. Due to high demand, the program's current capacity is limited, resulting in a wait time of over three months.
To prioritise support for individuals in the program or on the waitlist, PSS service providers will focus on referrals for those with the highest need. While they try to accommodate as many as possible, please consider seeking alternative options for consumer support before referring to the PSS service, reserving it for cases with no other available options.
During this period of high demand for services and long wait times, people seeking psychosocial support are also encouraged to contact the Head to Health service on 1800 595 212 and the Support Connect team on 03 9800 1071.
