I’m please to let you know that BCA are expanding our mental health support services from Saturday the 6th of July 2024.
Our Burdekin Centre for Rural Health (BCRH) will be open to the public from 9.00am to 4.30pm, Monday to Saturday.
Please visit the Centre at 12a Chippendale Street Ayr, telephone 4783 2711 or email bca@bcaburdekin.org.au to receive information about health and wellbeing services available at the Centre, via telephone and telehealth (online).
Sarah Lutkin (clinical psychologist), Phillip Murray (psychologist), Rick Scott (mental health social worker) deliver counselling sessions for adults and children under the Psychological Therapies Program. This is a free service for people who hold a health care card, pension card or concession card.
Please ask your GP for a referral through the Head to Health Phone Service. This Service will contact you and if you are eligible, refer you to the Burdekin Centre for Rural Health for counselling services. Our mental health team also offer private counselling sessions for a fee if you aren’t eligible for the free program.
In the next month, we expect to be able to recruit a Journey Coordinator to further support community members and provide more timely mental health care and coordinated support.
For information or services, please visit the BCA’s Burdekin Centre for Rural Health (BCRH), 12a Chippendale Street, Ayr. Ph:47832711. Email: bca@bcaburdekin.org.au. Website: www.burdekincommunityassociation.org.au
