Visiting Services
Finding specialist treatment and support can be difficult in regional areas, requiring clients and patients to travel distances to cities where these services are more readily available. Additionally, people in our communities who may be struggling financially may find it difficult to afford the cost of specialist services.
We truly understand our communities' needs and work with clinics to provide accessible specialist services on a regular and rotating basis.
