mental health services

Mental Health Services provide culturally appropriate, innovative and accessible services to the population of the Northern Territory by focusing on consumer rights, community needs, quality of service and strategic resource allocation.

Services are provided through:

• inpatient facilities (Darwin and Alice Springs)

• specialist child and youth services

• community based adult mental health and forensic services

• extended hours teams

• education and training programs

• consultation liaison services to the Royal Darwin and Alice Springs Hospitals,

• rural and remote services

• partnerships in service delivery with non-government organisations, and Aboriginal communities.

Services are delivered in a culturally sensitive way through a combination of sub programs in a variety of settings across the Northern Territory. Each service network has the potential to provide a range of mental health services. Services in rural and remote areas are often provided by visiting specialists or by consultation with other professionals in urban regions.
