The program will help residents with:

  • Mood improvement, reduction in anxiety and stress.
  • Increased ability to cope with life changes.
  • Increased interest in social activities at the facility.
  • Increased capacity of staff to identify and support residents with mental health needs.

Eligibility:

  • Residents with diagnosed mental illness.
  • Residents who may be at risk of developing a mental illness if they do not receive appropriate treatment.

To access this service, residents must either have a diagnosis of mental illness provided by a GP; psychiatrist; registered nurse; or allied health professional or be identified as at risk of developing a mental illness without appropriate treatment. Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs) are required to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the service provider to enable access.

Only RACFs with a signed MoU can refer to the service.
