Clients and guests must have an appointment and should enter via walkway on the left side of the building and use the bell. Wellington House offers wheelchair accessibility including wheelchair accessible toilets. Turning Point Australia is funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health and provides free care for Australian residents.
