Specialist mental health services are aimed primarily at people with serious mental illness or mental disorder who have associated significant levels of disturbance and psychosocial disability due to their illness or disorder. A variety of specialised services are available across the age range, from children to those over 65 years of age. There is an emphasis on providing early intervention to young people and developing partnerships with other organisations to utilise a full range of services.

 

Drug and alcohol services are targeted to people with serious problems resulting from their use of alcohol or other drugs. Services are also available for those who have a concurrent drug and alcohol problem and a mental disorder.

For details regarding each service description and referral process refer to the menu options available. 

 

Other providers of mental health and drug and alcohol services include GPs, private psychiatrists, private hospitals, allied health providers, psychiatric disability rehabilitation and support and non-government organisations.
