13 September 2020 - Reaching out to remote communities

The MindLink clinicians travel across Western Australia to reach communities that otherwise do not have access to the psychological services we offer.

The MindLink clinicians travel across Western Australia to reach communities that otherwise do not have access to the psychological services we offer.

We recognise the burgeoning unmet need within the rural and remote areas of WA, for individuals who have had limited to no access to (neuro)psychological services in their area. To address this need, we have developed our pop-up clinics, where we will set-up a temporary Mindlink Psychology clinic at the local GP or similar professional offices. Our stay can be from a couple of days to a week or more, depending on the needs of the local community.

We have established regular pop-up clinics in Albany, Dunsborough, Port Hedland, Broome, Kununurra. In addition, our forensic team of clinical neuropsychologists has visited most prisons throughout WA to conduct neuropsychological assessments.
