Accessing AccessEAP Counsellors<br />
Same-day counselling session<br />
If a significantly traumatic incident occurs, a AccessEAP Counsellor can be requested to attend the<br />
<strong>Critical</strong> <strong>Incident</strong> <strong>Debrief</strong> to deliver a group counselling session (replacing the emotive debrief session).<br />
This can be requested by the Duty Officer (or delegated Officer) by contacting AccessEAP on 1800<br />
818 728<br />
Note: Availability will depend on location and availability of a counsellor.<br />
Individual Counselling Session (post-incident)<br />
Members (or their parents) can request an individual counselling session as they deem necessary by<br />
contacting AccessEAP on 1800 818 728<br />
4. Follow Up Welfare Check<br />
As the symptoms of trauma on members can present themselves some time after the incident, It is<br />
important that the Branch Duty Officer involved, Branch Director of <strong>Life</strong>saving, Club Captain and Club<br />
President communicate post-incident to discuss the event and the need to ensure that the members<br />
involved are monitored and provided ongoing support (if required).
