A Note Regarding Legal Reports and Proceedings
It is the policy of Psychology 806 that we do not provide legal/court reports and Psychologists are not available to attend court proceedings.
Please note that the Psychologists are not available for extended discussions via telephone or email. In the interests of client safety, issues should be discussed in person during sessions.
We do not accept new clients who have current Family Court proceedings. We recommend services such as Relationships Australia, Child and Family Services or school welfare staff over this period.
Practice Policy Regarding Animals
Please note that we do not allow pets to be brought into our clinic for the consideration and comfort of all clients. The exceptions are Assistance Dogs who have undergone their yearly Public Access Test which needs to be submitted to reception prior to the visit.
