Pathways chief executive Alyson Miller said her organisation — which supports 366 Geelong people with mental illness and employs 144 staff — was haemorrhaging money in the NDIS trial and could be forced to close by Christmas.

Pathways clients and staff have been briefed about the possible closure.

Ms Miller predicted other specialist mental health ser­vices across the country would find themselves in the same position.
