What we do
Our compassionate social workers are available to both inpatients and outpatients seeking support for issues relating to family, aged care or other life challenges. Providing advocacy, information and/or referral to other services.
If you need to talk to someone confidentially about the challenges you face in life, we are here to help. Our social workers support both patients within hospital and members of the broader community.
They can connect you to other services where appropriate or simply be there to listen and provide guidance when you need it most.
We can provide a range of services and counselling including:
- Adjustment to illness or disability
- Changes in lifestyle

- Reaction to loss and grief
- Managing feelings of anxiety, depression and loneliness
