She believes strongly in the human and social rights of gender and sexual minority groups, and recognizes the need for representation within healthcare. Halo recognizes the different and changing needs of people within the LGBTIQAP+ community.

Q Psychology is a placement location for Provisional Psychologists. Provisional Psychologists have completed at least a four year degree at University (three year undergraduate degree in psychology and a honours/graduate diploma fourth year). They are currently completing either a general registration pathway or are completing a postgraduate Masters, Doctorate, or Masters/PhD. Provisional psychologists are qualified to provide psychological assessment and treatment under the supervision of a Board-Registered Psychology Supervisor and can provide affordable psychological care to our clients. There is no requirement for a mental healthcare plan or referral and therefore long-term psychological treatment without Medicare limitations is available via this service. Q Psychology is passionate about supporting the development of psychologists through these programs.
