What is an AMHSW? AMHSW’s are mental health specialist social workers who have been through a rigorous credentialling process.  They are approved to provide Focussed-Psychological Strategies and Medicare rebate is available. 

Why should I see an AMHSW?  Social workers are experts in complexity.  No one is just a diagnosis – we are all products of our social systems and environment.  AMHSW’s help navigate a pathway to treatment and assist you to manage relationships, employment, and all facets of your social existence to achieve improved overall wellbeing.
