Introduction<br />
While every effort has been taken to make sure that the details in this directory are<br />
correct, it is inevitable that some details may have changed or that new services<br />
may have started. If you notice any mistakes or omissions in this guide please<br />
contact Enza Wright on 5128 0138 or ewright@lrh.com.au<br />
Private Practitioners have not been included in this directory. Listings of private<br />
practitioners can be found in community directories and Yellow Pages. No fees or<br />
charges have been included in this directory as they vary across locations and<br />
between disciplines. For enquiries on service costs we recommend that you contact<br />
each centre/provider individually on the phone number listed.
