Health and Counselling:
Psychologists and GP and Psychiatric Services:
Toowoomba has the Acute and Community Mental Health Services (see below) and a large selection of private Psychologists and GPs. There are a few private Psychiatrists. There are some telehealth psychologists also from Brisbane and around Australia catering to LGBTQIA+ folk.
If you are in need of help, your general practitioner is a good first port of call. As well as providing medical help and support, your GP can write up a mental health plan which allows medicare funding for counseling from a psychologist or your GP can can refer you to a psychiatrist or other health specialist as needed.
We suggest that if you are booking an appointment with a new clinician, that you ask if the clinician is comfortable with treating LGBTQIA+ people.
PFLAG Toowoomba can offer advice if you are struggling to find a health provider that meets your needs.
