South Western Sydney PHN appoints new provider for NewAccess program
14 Jun 2024
The NewAccess program, developed by Beyond Blue, has been providing mental health coaching
support to help people manage everyday life stressors for the past five years.
CBT Network will begin receiving referrals to the program from 3 June in a transition arrangement, as
current providers, One Door Mental Health and Community Links Wellbeing, cease service delivery on
30 June.
South Western Sydney PHN funds the NewAccess program as the low intensity component of a suite of
mental health programs delivered across the region to support the mental health needs of our
community.
South Western Sydney PHN CEO Dr Keith McDonald PhD said the NewAccess program was a vital
access point in the broader mental health program, providing local residents with the opportunity to seek
support without needing a referral or mental health treatment plan.
Dr McDonald thanked Community Links Wellbeing and One Door Mental Health for their commitment in
delivering the program locally, and welcomed CBT Network as the new local provider of the service.
“NewAccess is a vital program offering support to anyone feeling stressed or overwhelmed with everyday
life. It is a key program in the suite of services South Western Sydney PHN funds across the region and
we are looking forward to a seamless transition and continuation of quality service delivery of the
program,” he said.
