Inclusive Pathways (Psychology) is funded by the Capital Health Network (CHN) to provide free psychological therapies and social and emotional wellbeing support to LGBTIQA+ people.

Inclusive Pathways provides quality, accessible and culturally safe mental health support for people of diverse sexualities and genders, people with variations in sex characteristics and people exploring or uncertain of their gender identity, expression or sexuality.

Inclusive Pathways uses a dynamic, strengths-based, person-centred and affirming model of care. Our psychologists are experienced in working with LGBTIQA+ communities and ensuring individuals get the right care and support at the right time.

Inclusive Pathways is available to people who are:

  • 16 years old and above
  • Identify as LGBTIQA+ or questioning/exploring identity
  • Have a Mental Health Treatment Plan
  • Live/Work/Study in the ACT

  • Diagnostic assessments.
  • Gender Affirmation HRT Letter / Surgery Letter for people under 18 years of age.

Segments of Care

Due to unprecedented demand and a growing waitlist, Meridian Wellbeing Services has moved to a Segment of Care service model to ensure more clients have the opportunity to access support. What this means is that your Counselling and Psychology support will be focused on your individual wellness goals within a maximum of 6 sessions.

After the completion of a Segment of Care, you can re-engage with the service by submitting another referral form and wait for another Segment of Care.

Wait time between Segments of Care will vary from time to time.

 

The current wait time is approx 3 months.
