Hello Pakenham Hills Community!

We are looking forward to supporting our   school community this year.

Introducing our Wellbeing Team:

Kate Joyner                                     Psychologist

Georgia Winwood                        Social Worker

School Counselling Opportunities

We also have the wonderful Richard Dalziel, our Mental Health Practitioner who is here on Mondays and Tuesdays for counselling. 

(Richard is our only source of therapeutic support. Kate and Georgia do not provide counselling or therapy.)

• This is a free service covered through Medicare and we will cover the gap payment, so you will not be out of pocket at all.
• All you will need is: Mental Health Care Plan from a GP and signed consent form
• Students are typically scheduled every three weeks. 
• There are limited spots, so please email me at georgia.winwood@education.vic.gov.au to confirm a spot prior to obtaining a Mental Health Care Plan.
