It's a week of big announcements!

BETTER ACCESS:

The Minister for Mental Health, Mark Butler, has advised today that the additional six sessions of Better Access treatment under exceptional circumstances will be reinstated for a transitional period from 1 March 2012 to 31 December 2012.
...
The standard number of rebatable sessions under Better Access will remain at 10 (6+4 sessions), but eligible clients can receive up to 16 sessions during the transitional period where ‘exceptional circumstances’ apply.

Clients will be eligible for an additional six sessions under exceptional circumstances from 1 March 2012 until 31 December 2012.See More

Welcome Lynne!
All in the Mind - Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Hi - Lynne Malcolm here. What a great feast of listening Natasha Mitchell served up to us to celebrate her 10 years with the show. She's off and running on Life Matters now. I'm really looking forward to presenting a new season of All in the Mind from April this year. Before that listen in on Sundays at 5pm and Mondays at 1pm for a season of The Body Sphere presented by Amanda Smith. RN explores Body AND Mind in 2012 !
