Following the recent tragedy that has occurred in Gunnedah, Whitehaven Coal has announced a free psychological support service available to everyone in the community.

Whitehaven is temporarily expanding its Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to help all members of the Gunnedah community access free, confidential psychology services over the next fortnight.

A confidential consulting space has been set up in the Creative Arts Meeting room of The Civic, at 83 Chandos Street Gunnedah.

Face to face appointments are available by appointment between Friday July 10 and Friday July 24. On weekdays appointments are available between 10am and 8pm, and on weekends appointment times are available from 8am to 4pm.

Phone and Zoom consultations are also available 24/7. Appointments are essential; please contact the EAP provider NewPsych directly on (02) 4926 5005 to book.

Following the two week period, individuals who require continued support can discuss alternate options with NewPsych or a provider of their own choosing.
