Initial Assessment and Referral for Mental Healthcare - Wagga Wagga - 01/01/2026 - 31/12/2026
Date: 01/01/2026 Location: NSW
In a stepped care approach to mental health, a person presenting to the health system is matched to the least intensive level of care that most suits their current treatment need, considering the balance between intended benefits and potential risks. A secondary and key feature of stepped care is ongoing outcome and experience measurement to provide close to real-time feedback on outcomes allowing treatment intensity to be adjusted (stepping up or stepping down) as necessary. To achieve this, an initial assessment is required. This is undertaken in partnership with the patient to determine suitable and appropriate treatment choices/options. The role of the General Practitioner in initial assessment and decision making is critical.
