Emergencies
Southside Health & Wellbeing does not provide an emergency or crisis service, and your psychologist will not be available — either in person or by phone — outside of standard practice hours.
Please note that, while every effort is made to accommodate your needs, your psychologist may not be available at short notice, even during business hours. However, we aim to return all urgent messages left during practice hours on the same day.
If you are experiencing an emergency, please use the emergency contact resources here.
Contact in a crisis or emergency:
- EMERGENCY Police / Fire / Ambulance - if life is in danger 000
