News
We understand that life doesn't always fit neatly into a 9 to 5 schedule. That’s why Doncare is now offering counselling appointments on Wednesday evenings until 9pm.
This extension of hours is part of our ongoing commitment to providing accessible, inclusive and flexible support to individuals, couples, and families in our community.
Whether you're juggling work, study or parenting responsibilities, our new evening availability gives you more opportunity to access the care you need — at a time that suits you.
“This change responds to the needs of our clients. Mental health support should be available when people are most likely to reach out — and for many, that’s outside business hours”
Kylie Scoullar, Chief Executive Officer.
