      1. North Coast residents seeking mental health services, however we recommend that you contact a general practitioner or other medical professional to determine what the most appropriate course of action is for you, before containing any practitioner listed on the Directory; and
      2. Clinical and health professionals seeking mental health services as a referral pathway.
4. The Directory is accessible at hnc.org.au/directory-search
5. The Directory is published using information submitted by the listed practitioners via a secure webform (“Form”) accessible at: hnc.org.au/directory-new-listing
6. Healthy North Coast is not responsible for updating the listings on the Directory following publication. The public information accessible on the Directory is self-maintained by the listed practitioners via one of two methods:
  1. Request change button — the practitioner individual listing view has a ‘Request change’ button for practitioners to make self-authored updates at any time. Clicking on ‘Request change’ triggers an email to the associated practitioner admin email address containing a time-limited token link for the authorised practitioner to review and update listing details, including requesting to be unpublished from the Directory.
  2. 90-day review request — automated notifications to all admin email addresses will be sent every 90 days requesting review of information for any listing that has not been updated within the last 90-day period. Practitioner listing admins will be required to action either 1/ confirm that no changes are required via an automated link, or 2/ request changes as above. Failure to complete a review using one of the two actions above may result in a listing being unpublished from the public Directory.
