EAP Counselling
EAP is designed to give staff independent third party counselling assistance to support staff through challenges, issues or times when support is needed. It can be work or non work related.
​
EAP Counselling is confidential. Acua does not share with your employer any information discussed during an EAP counselling session.
​
Your organisation has allocated three (3) sessions for you to access Acua EAP as you need it. You may be eligible for more if you require it. If you have already used your three EAP sessions you will need to request further sessions from you Wellbeing Coordinator or HR Team.
​
Many Acua EAP individuals will engage Acua directly if no further EAP sessions are provided to them.
