Home Assessment and Acute Response Team

We are available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week to provide urgent mental health assessment, intervention, and treatment for people experiencing serious mental health concerns and for people at risk of suicide. Who we care for We care for people in the community or those who have been recently discharged from hospital who need urgent mental health assessment, treatment, and care. We provide services for people of all ages within the Australian Capital Territory. We visit people in the community to do mental health assessments and provide treatment and care. Our team may visit you at your home or organise to meet with you at your local community health centre. Psychiatric appointments are free if you have a Medicare Card or Asylum Seeker Card.
