Clinical Care Coordination

Working together to get the right support

Based on your needs, the Clinical Care Coordinator works with you and your GP or Psychiatrist to plan what services will most help you and how to access them.

Once you have a plan, the Clinical Care Coordinator will make referrals for you to the services on your plan.

After connecting with the right services, the Clinical Care Coordinator will follow up with you and your service providers to make sure the services are effective.

Clinical Care Coordination

Over three months, a Clinical Care Coordinator supports you to:

• Develop a coordinated care plan
• Monitor your general health needs, like weight and blood pressure
• Work with services that provide long-term support
• Access one-to-one counselling sessions
• Determine your needs.

We coordinate with the people involved in your care to get you the right service and can include:

• Clinicians
• Health care providers
• Carers
• Family members
• Other significant persons.

How to access the Clinical Care Coordination

Clinical Care Coordination is especially helpful for people who have complex mental and physical health care needs.

To be eligible for low-intensity interventions, you need to be 18 or over and:

• have a diagnosis of a severe and complex mental illness
• live in Central or Southern Adelaide

Making a referral

You can self-refer to this service, or with your permission referrals can be made by GPs, allied health workers, family members or carers.

You do not need a mental health treatment plan to make a referral; the Clinical Care Coordination team can assist you to obtain one.
