Primary Care Psychology is an outpatient service designed to help people with psychological issues. Our psychologists can assist during times of crisis, however, we cannot provide an emergency service. We will try our best to accommodate patients with immediate needs, but we cannot guarantee emergency consultations - please call us on 9553-8838 and we will advise if it is possible for us to schedule an urgent appointment.

 

If you are experiencing a life-threatening or harmful situation, or need to speak to someone immediately, then please consider the following options:

 

 

 

 

Call Police or Ambulance on 000
000 calls are answered by a Telstra Operator who will ask which service you require - Police, Fire or Ambulance.
The operator will ask relevant questions, and arrange an appropriate response from the local Police, Ambulance or Fire Service.
