People in remote parts of Australia often face big hurdles when it comes to accessing quality mental health care. Long travel times, limited local resources, and the isolation that comes with living far from major centres can make it hard to get the help. Recent research by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (2022) shows that many Australians in these areas experience significant psychological distress, while the Productivity Commission’s Mental Health Inquiry Report (2020) highlights that lengthy wait times and travel burdens can delay support and deepen feelings of loneliness.
At Simbar Health, we’re committed to overcoming these barriers by delivering mental health support directly to you through telehealth. Our secure online platform lets you connect with highly qualified and compassionate professionals from wherever you are—be it at home or any other private space that suits you. No travel, no waiting rooms, just flexible, confidential care designed to fit around your busy life.
We offer a range of services to suit diverse needs:
Counselling
One-on-one sessions in a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings.
Recovery Coaching
Personalised guidance to help you develop daily skills, set achievable goals, and build resilience. This service supports individuals with psychosocial disability in managing everyday challenges and navigating the complexities of life.
Yarn
Informal, short-term chats or brief interventions for when you just need a friendly ear without the commitment of long-term therapy.
Our telehealth model is built on convenience and accessibility. It means you can book sessions that fit your schedule and receive support in complete privacy. Our approach is designed to be sensitive to your individual circumstances and is delivered in line with the National Safety and Quality Digital Mental Health Standards and NDIS Code of Conduct. This ensures that every session is secure, confidential, and effective, no matter where you live.
For those dealing with psychosocial disability—conditions that not only require a clinical diagnosis but also affect your everyday communication, work, and relationships—our services provide a vital lifeline. We know that managing these challenges can be overwhelming, and we’re here to offer a flexible solution that brings professional support right to your doorstep.
If you’re living in a remote area and finding it hard to access the help you deserve, know that there’s a better way forward.
