The take over of these committees by the Premier's Department and using police officers as secretaries was regretted. When prisoners are released there's no-one to help them. Some can't even open a bank account because they don't have identification documents sufficient for the required 100 points. They rely on family to bank any money they have - but can lose their money that way. The Women's Health Centre is funded by the State Health Department.
Female doctors run a weekly clinic dealing with women's issues.
There's a community health nurse. A private psychiatrist sees a number of Centre clients weekly dealing with a range of issues including domestic violence and sexual assault. There is a physiotherapy service at the Centre and also workshops and support groups. Problems presenting are predominantly linked to stress, depression and isolation. Child care, which is no longer funded, is not affordable on a single income.
