Eligibility

Society members and members of their immediate family are eligible for LawCare assistance. The Society continues to meet the cost of (3) three counselling sessions.

Some concern had been expressed to the Society, in the past, that there may be a reticence by some practitioners to access counselling with someone that a practitioner may have professional dealings. This Converge service now allows practitioners to access either online or telephone counselling services with a professional who is not based in Tasmania. The Society is not provided with the names of practitioners accessing this service.

Counselling services are confidential, anonymous, free and available 24/7

Services can be accessed in (3) three ways.

Telephone. 1300 687 327
Face to face – available in all areas of the state.
