PTS provides short-term support to people who have mild to moderate mental health concerns. Under this service, individuals can be referred for up to 10 free or low cost sessions per calendar year.
A valid healthcare or pension card will be required for people to access PTS, excluding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Funding for the 2025-2026 financial year will soon be exhausted, therefore from 4:00pm on Friday 28 November 2025, we are only accepting referrals and re-referrals to the following streams:
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
- Children (11 years and under)
Patients with an active referral who are currently accessing the service will not be impacted and can continue their sessions as planned.
A person must be assessed and referred by a GP (or in some cases a psychiatrist or paediatrician).
