New mobile crisis service launches in the South West

An Acute Care Response Team (ACRT) has been launched in the South West, as part of the existing South West Infant Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services Hub.

This ACRT will provide rapid mobile response and support for children and young people up to the age of 18 experiencing a mental health crisis. 

More than $13 million has been invested to commence this service as a key initiative to work towards the recommendations as part of the State Government’s Infant, Child and Adolescent System Transformation Program.
