The official opening of the Ourimbah Psychology Clinic was
celebrated on Wednesday, with the Vice-Chancellor Professor Caroline McMillen
presiding. The Clinic sees the School of Psychology expanding the range of
placement experiences on offer to postgraduate students in Clinical Psychology,
as well as providing an affordable and accessible service to residents of the
Central Coast.
The Ourimbah Psychology Clinic builds upon the existing
Callaghan Psychology Clinic, offering a range of services including diagnostic
and cognitive assessments, group programs, family therapy, and individual therapy
for a wide range of concerns. The Clinic also supports clinical research
initiatives, such as Dr Linda Campbell’s work with neurodevelopmental disorders
and Dr Michelle Kelly’s research into the provision of an intervention for
carer’s of older people living with dementia. The Ourimbah Psychology Clinic
will initially open on Mondays and Tuesdays. More information, including
