Wellbeing Psychiatry Clinic
Dr Satya Singh, retiring April and June 2024
Dr Singh has been providing an outreach psychiatry service in Blue Mountains since 2019. Dr. Singh’s final clinic sessions is scheduled to finish June 2024 at Lawson Medical Practice and at Greater Western Aboriginal Health Services Katoomba will finishing the end of April 2024.
The fortnightly clinics have provided access to mental health help for Aboriginal people and those on a low income. It has been managed by Wentworth Healthcare since 2013.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr Singh for his committee to providing this much needed services to Blue Mountains community.
We are currently working on attracting a new general psychiatrist to fill this gap. Dr Singh has advised that patients will need to make arrangements with their referring/regular GP to see another psychiatrist or mental health professional in the meantime. As soon as another psychiatrist has been engaged, we will inform all GPs of these details.
This bulk-billed clinic provides a psychiatrist service to adults in the Blue Mountains area and priority access to Aboriginal people and those on a low income.
