Clinical Care Coordination – Metro

Service coordination for people experiencing the impact of severe and complex mental illness

Our Clinical Care Coordination program provides short-term care planning to people experiencing the impact of severe mental illness.

The program aims to support people living with severe and complex mental health concerns by providing effective care coordination.

Our Clinical Care Planners will work closely with you, your GP and others involved in your care to plan what services will help you most.

 

Once you have a plan in place, your Clinical Care Planner will make referrals for you to access the services on your plan.
