How many sessions can I access?

Answer

We use a ‘segment of care’ model, which is designed to increase client access and cater to your specific needs and goals.

The segment of care model begins with a care planning session, during which you and your clinician can discuss your needs and develop a plan for your therapeutic support. Following this, you can access 4 to 8 sessions. The exact number of sessions will be collaboratively determined with your clinician, usually at the end of the care planning session.

Upon completing a segment of care, you can re-engage by submitting another referral, subject to a maximum of 12 sessions in a 12-month period.

Wait time between segments of care will vary.
