Personal and Critical Incident Counselling
Counselling can help to relieve pressure and assist in identifying self-management strategies for ongoing mental health - don't be shy about considering this strategy as a valuable tool to maintain your own health and wellbeing.
BDDGP is able to offer 3 subsidised psychologist counselling visits per annum to assist you with the cost of accessing these services.
Each General Practitioner may choose their own psychologist - for a list of available Ballarat Psychologists, click on the link below. If you would like to access a psychologist outside of Ballarat this is also okay.
Three tokens for counselling services were included in your GP Well Being kit - you must ensure that your psychologist of choice sends one token with each invoice (BDDGP will fund up to $90 of each session).
The token system was chosen to ensure your privacy whilst meeting financial accountability requirements. Should you have misplaced your tokens please contact us for more - in an attempt to maintain your privacy you can either contact Dr Colin Crook or the Program Officer for Workforce Support.
