The Australian Psychological Society has been hard working on behalf of its 25000 members representing their interests and needs to the Federal Government during the COVID challenge. The Government has made some incredible support available to the many industries that have been seriously affected by shutdowns, stand downs, dismissals, uncertain futures, and the associated impacts on our lifestyles.
The sport, exercise and entertainment industries have been particularly affected, with many of our great sporting traditions at home and abroad canceled or postponed. One of the great contributions that the Government has made is to extend the access to Tele-health services in order to ensure all members of the community have continuing access to support services.
You can find lots of information about the kinds of support available to not only the community but also the many service providers who are working to help the many communities around Australia deal with the many life disruptions we are facing.
