CESPHN’s mental health planning and commissioning of services is founded upon a stepped care approach. Stepped care aims to match a person presenting to the health system with the least intensive level of care that most suits their current treatment need, with the ability to monitor treatment experiences and outcomes to enable a step up or down in treatment intensity as necessary.
We commission services based on the mental health priority needs of the population in our region. Services currently commissioned by CESPHN within each of the five IAR Levels of Care are listed below.
