These psychologists and counsellors have been chosen from the community and are people we are already familiar with. They have been chosen because of their experience working with first responders, and based on feedback from our membership and other providers.
The list is fluid and subject to both employee and provider feedback. At any given time, the list of providers may expand or contract depending on supply, demand, suitability factors and the preferred provider's own circumstances.
