The year saw the impact of Covid-19 on service delivery and the increased health burden, employment pressures and uncertainty due to COVID- 19 resulted in increased pressures on individuals, couples, and families. This led to an increase in referrals and complexity of issues clients presented with.

RA Tas focused on maintaining flexible options for clients post covid-19 and worked to ensure video and telephone counselling options were embedded into RA Tas systems to ensure ongoing access and choice for clients.
