Conversations on the Couch: Personal and Insightful
More than 130 residents across 15 towns, including Corowa and Howlong, have engaged with Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network’s (MPHN) 2025 Conversations on the Couch series.
The idea is to better understand local health needs and lived experiences, with consistent themes revealed across the region.
- Residents in Corowa expressed frustration with the lack of continuity in GP services, describing it as a “revolving door”.
- Mental health care was seen as unaffordable, with significant out-of-pocket costs for travel and specialist appointments.
- The absence of social spaces for LGBTQIA+ people was noted, contributing to feelings of isolation.
