Our Queensland Chair, Denise Abreu, talks to the ABC about managing our own mental health in the workplace. “Boundaries should be set as early and clearly as possible and be maintained, because of how complicated saying no in a professional context can be.”https://t.co/wBk04RinYb

During the pandemic, telehealth for psychology has been a lifeline for Australians. We welcome today’s announcement that these measures will be extended under Medicare providing much needed certainty for psychologists and their clients. #telehealth #mentalhealth

Great to see Dr Zena Burgess on the ABC news tonight. Supporting psychologists and their clients. @AustPsych

@GregHuntMP Great work Minister Hunt. 20 sessions will make such a difference to people accessing psychology services. Being able to offer an increase in sessions that match the evidence base will stop the revolving door effect. We will be able to better support people to fully revcover.

The APS is pleased to announce that the 2020 Federal Budget includes a doubling of the number of Medicare-funded psychology sessions for all Australians regardless of location, for an initial 2 year period. This follows years of APS advocacy. More to come.
