BCA’s Burdekin Centre For Rural Health Expansion Of Mental Health Services

I’m very pleased to let community members know that BCA has appointed a new Journey Coordinator as part of our Mental Health services expansion.
 
The main aim of the Journey Coordinator is to connect adults and children to the services and supports they require and ensure that they access timely and appropriate mental health services. In the future, we expect that the Journey Coordinator will also be able to deliver free group mental health education sessions, for people needing low intensity mental health support services.
 
The Burdekin Centre for Rural Health is open from Monday to Saturday, 9.00am to 4.30pm.  The Journey Coordinator’s days and hours are Monday to Thursday and Saturday, 9.00am to 4.30pm.
 
Referrals for the Journey Coordinator Service can be made by visiting or telephoning the Burdekin Centre for Rural Health, 12a Chippendale Street, Ayr. Ph: 4783 2711. E: bca@bcaburdekin.org.au or telephoning the Head to Health Phone Service on 1800 595 212.
