If these services don’t feel right for you, you can still contact a provider in the SelfRefer network and be sure to tell them how you’re feeling.
However, please note that whilst the SelfRefer Providers have committed to prioritising Queensland Police Service employees, you will likely not receive an appointment immediately.
