Legal Reports and Proceedings
It is not the policy of Psychology 806 to 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.
