How to access support

How support is delivered will depend on where you live. If you’re in the Maranoa Regional (Roma) or Balonne Shire (St George) areas, support is available face-to-face in your community. If you’re in the Paroo, Murweh, Bulloo or Quilpie Shire areas, support is delivered by phone or video call. Either way, your Peer Carer Support Worker will work with you to make sure it feels as personal and comfortable as possible.
