Subsidised psychological support for vulnerable patients impacted by perinatal loss

Access to training and supervision for interested GPs on culturally safe engagement is also available.

A new Australian Government funded program is now accepting referrals to provide culturally safe support to patients and families from higher risk populations who are impacted by perinatal loss.

Rural Health Connect provides telehealth sessions with psychologists who are trained in perinatal loss and have experience working with people that can be at higher risk. Bulk billed and reduced fee sessions are available with a mental health treatment plan.

Higher risk populations include Aboriginal people, people from multicultural and refugee communities, people in rural and remote areas and women under 20 years of age.

Visit the Rural Health Connect website for more information on Psychologist Supervision for GPs and referral options.
