Victims Services

At Dune Health and Wellbeing,  we provide psychological support to clients who have been victims of crimes perpetrated against them at any point in their lives.

In NSW, the Department of Communities and Justices has a Victims Services support scheme, which includes the provision of counselling. 

Counselling through Victims Services is intended to help individuals recover from a crime's psychological and emotional impacts.

Victims Services may offer up to 22 hours of free counselling for approved applications. 

Once the allocation is used, further hours can be approved where exceptional reasons are evident, or the applicant was a victim of child sexual assault or child abuse.

At DHW, our warm, friendly and empathetic clinicians have extensive experience working with a diversity of traumatic experiences as well as the symptoms (e.g., anxiety) and diagnoses (e.g., PTSD) that may result from those experiences. 

We develop individualised treatment plans for each client to ensure that we use evidence-based approaches to help them heal, move forward and thrive.
