Psychological assessment and intervention for all ages
About Us
FSA Psychology is a trusted and compassionate provider of mental health services in our community. Previously known as Warehouse One7 and with specialisation in supporting children, adolescents, and their families, the change to FSA Psychology coincided with the expansion of our service to include adults. This expansion enabled us to provide a comprehensive and integrated community service across all ages and increase our ability to meet the mental health needs observed in our community. We have extensive clinical mental health expertise and an ethos of meeting people “where they’re at”. FSA Psychology will help you better understand difficult emotions and behaviours and learn strategies to manage these effectively.

This deposit will contribute to your overall assessment fee should you attend all subsequent appointments or provide more than 24 hours cancellation notice. However, if you do not provide 24 hours cancellation notice or do not attend subsequent appointments, the $100 will be forfeited and be in addition to the overall assessment fee.
SMS reminders are automatically sent 48 hours prior to an appointment, allowing the opportunity to cancel. No rebates are paid by Medicare for missed appointments. If you are using NDIS, your plan will be charged the relevant fee.
