1. Tresillian Lismore Family Care Centre
Families attend a 2-hour initial appointment with a Tresillian Nurse at Tresillian’s Family Care Centre located at 46 Uralba Street, Lismore. Follow-up appointments are scheduled depending on the needs of the family.
2. Tresillian 2U Mobile Service
Individual consultations are offered within Tresillian’s purpose-built van. Mobile vans are family friendly with a private consultation room, cot, and change table. The Tweed 2U service offers services weekly at Pottsville, Ocean Shores, Banora Point and Murwillumbah.
