Disability Royal Commission Counselling Services

Relationships Australia WA is funded by the Australian Government to provide free, independent counselling and support for anyone affected by the Disability Royal Commission.

Services

The service offers a space for people experiencing a disability and/or carers to have their voice heard in a trustworthy, respectful, and confidential environment.

Our counsellors are client-centred and provide:

  • professional trauma-informed counselling,
  • supported referrals to appropriate specialised services, and
  • information and referrals about other useful services.

Everyone’s experience of trauma is different as are their needs. We are here to listen and support. The service is available between 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. You can call during this time to make an appointment. If you call outside of those hours, you can leave a voicemail.
