Referrer Update: Cornerstone Counselling

Cornerstone Youth Counselling Program (CYC) & Connected Care Update
Cornerstone Youth Services continues to deliver the Cornerstone Youth Counselling Program program funded by Primary Health Tasmania through the Australian Government’s Primary Health Networks Program. We have proudly delivered this program to young people aged 12-25 for the past 13 years covering the North and North West of Tasmania.
There is currently no change to our existing service, referral pathways or eligibility, and we continue to accept new referrals, however, Primary Health Tasmania is in the process of commissioning a new service called Connected Care – Mental Health, to improve coordination and integration between services and support people to move more easily between levels of care as their needs change.
The new service will replace a number of the low, moderate and high intensity services Primary Health Tasmania currently commission. Transition of the to the new model will start in July 2026 and will end by 31 January 2027.
Primary Health Tasmania has advised there will be a strong focus on continuity of care and maintaining referrals into existing programs while the new service is established.
More information will be provided progressively during the process of transitioning from the existing CYC program to the new service. Any changes will be communicated when they are known.
Thank you for support of our work in your community.
Cornerstone Youth Counselling

We would like to thank local GPs, allied health providers, schools and community organisations for your continued collaboration and support over the years.
