TAC’s Safe Migration Project (no.4)

Congratulations to our new Prep families on completing the first month of school! We know this is a big transition, and we’re so proud of how our students (and parents and carers) are settling into school life. 

As you and your child continue to establish your daily routines, it’s a great time to revisit the safe travel tips and resources available through the TAC’s Safe Migration Project. These practical tools are designed to help families travel safely to and from school, whether you’re walking, cycling, scootering, or driving. 

Here’s what you can do: 

• Watch the short, engaging video that shows the many ways children get to school and highlights the importance of making each journey safe. Watch the TAC’s Safe Migration video here The Safe Migration Project - Starting Primary School. 

   

• Read the fact sheet (available in multiple languages) for practical, easy-to-fo low safe travel tips for parents and carers, available here.  The Safe Migration Project - Starting Primary School | Road Safety Education

At Lalor East Primary School, we’re committed to supporting the safety of every child in our school community.

ON PSYCH

We understand that growing up can be a challenging time for children and teens—and it can be just as hard for the people who care about them. That's where onPsych comes in.

onPsych provides mental health support to students and families—right at school—with no out-of-pocket costs when referred by a GP (bulk billed through Medicare). This generally includes up to 10 individual and 10 group sessions.

Why see onPsych?

Our qualified clinical psychologists, psychologists and mental health social workers help children and teens with everyday challenges and more complex concerns, such as:

• Making friends                                                   · Behaviour challenges

• Anxiety, fears, and phobias                             · Exam or school stress

• Depression or low mood                                 · Social skills and confidence

• Attention and focus (e.g. ADHD)                   · Emotional regulation

• Grief and loss                                                      · Autism support

   

We also provide practical support and group sessions in:

• Communication                                                 · Problem solving

• Stress and anger management                    · Negotiation and motivation

• Relaxation and mindfulness                          · Parenting support

   

Common Questions

💰 How much does it cost? Nothing! We bulk bill Medicare with a GP referral.

⏱ How soon can my child be seen? Usually within 1–3 weeks after we receive the referral.

🔐 Is it private and confidential? Yes. All sessions are confidential. We follow professional and legal guidelines to keep your child’s information safe. We only share information if there’s a serious safety risk.

👨‍👩‍👧 Can I join the sessions? Absolutely—just chat with your therapist about what’s best. In many cases, parent involvement is welcomed.

📈 What changes should we expect? Some changes can happen quickly, while others take time. We'll work with you to set clear goals and check in on progress regularly.

🏠 How can I help at home? We’ll give you tips and tools to support your child between sessions. Ask your therapist for guidance!

📄 Will we get reports? Yes. For Medicare plans, we’ll send you and your GP a progress report after 6 and 10 sessions. (NDIS plans may differ.)

🩺 Do we go back to the GP? Yes—after 6 sessions, you'll need to return to your GP to get a referral for more sessions.

How to Get Started (with a Mental Health Care Plan):

1. Fill out the “Information for your GP” form (Speak to Grace or Julie  for a Parent Pack).

2. Book a double appointment with your GP.

3. Meet with the GP, discuss your child’s emotional or behavioural concerns.

4. Ask for a referral under the Better Access to Mental Health Initiative (Item 2715/2700).

5. Ask your GP to fax or email the referral to us—or bring it to school and ask LEPS to send it.

    

Once OnPsych receive the referral, they'll contact you to arrange a session.

If you have any questions, give OnPsych a call or visit our website.
