Community Mental Health Services
The ‘front’ door to Mental Health Services for people of all ages is via the Mental Health Line 1800 011 511. While not a counselling service the mental health professionals who answer calls will advise whether or not a person is in need of mental health services or would be better accessing another service.
If the referral is appropriate, Community Mental Health Services will:
- conduct a mental health assessment with the person referred
- liaise with the person’s family/carers, GP and any other relevant service providers (with the person’s consent)
- provide crisis and supportive community based mental health intervention wherever possible
- facilitate admission to a general hospital or inpatient mental health unit if necessary
- work with staff of local hospitals to provide treatment and support to patients with mental health problems
- provide mental health management and treatment
- work closely with Psychiatrists, inpatient services and GPs to ensure provision of the most effective care
- provide case management, counselling and a range of therapies according to the client’s needs.
