Psychology for family members

At I’ve Got Your 6 Foundation (IGY6), we know that when one person serves, the whole family serves. Life alongside someone who has been in the Defence Force — or is living with the impact of service — can bring its own unique pressures, emotions, and adjustments.

Our psychology services for family members are here to support partners, children, and parents of current or former ADF members. You don’t have to go through it alone — we provide a safe, understanding space to talk openly, find clarity, and develop healthy ways to cope and reconnect.

Our psychologists truly understand what it’s like to be a partner, child, or parent of someone navigating Defence life or post-service challenges such as PTSD, anxiety, or emotional distance. We listen without judgment and focus on helping you regain stability, strength, and purpose in your own life.


Sessions may explore:

• Understanding and managing stress, anxiety, or burnout.

• Improving communication and emotional connection within the family

• Building clarity, resilience, and confidence in daily life.

• Rediscovering purpose and balance beyond the caring role.
  
  

You’ll need a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP to access psychology sessions with IGY6 under Medicare. This allows you to receive subsidised sessions with one of our psychologists who specialise in veteran and family wellbeing.

There is a small out-of-pocket fee, and you’ll receive a Medicare rebate of $97 per session.

You can choose how you’d like to connect:

• Telehealth sessions
  Private, convenient, and available anywhere in Australia.

• In-person sessions
  At our Chelsea, VIC office.

• Flexible appointments
  Arrange to fit around family routines and responsibilities .
  
  
  At IGY6, we help families not only understand what their loved one is going through — but also rediscover their own sense of clarity, strength, and purpose. Because healing doesn’t happen alone — it happens together.
