How can we help you today?

Support beyond the crisis. Compassion for the journey ahead.

Universal aftercare is designed to support people who have attempted suicide or experienced a suicidal crisis. The service provides practical, emotional, and psychosocial support to help people stay connected, regain stability, and navigate their recovery journey.

NQPHN is proud to be working with Cairns and Hinterland, Townsville, and Mackay Hospital and Health Services to deliver universal aftercare services in partnership with our service provider Wellways. 

  • Referrals to universal aftercare services are received from emergency departments and other Queensland Health services.

Universal aftercare is currently being codesigned for the Torres and Cape region with local communities.
