SA Health offers a comprehensive array of public mental health services catering to children, adolescents, adults, and older individuals in South Australia. These services, accessible through community health centers, hospitals, and home-based care, aim to address the mental health needs of the population. General practitioners can facilitate access to specialized mental health services through referrals, and a wide network of non-government organizations, supported by the South Australian government, plays a crucial role in delivering essential mental health services.

Community Clinical Rehabilitation Service
The Community Clinical Rehabilitation Service (CCRS) has a focus of proactive and timely one-to-one rehabilitation with mental health consumers who have an open episode with either the Eastern or Western Community Mental Health Teams (CMHT). CCRS also has a strong focus on community partnerships and offers a range of evidence and needs-based therapeutic group programs.
A referral can be completed at any point in a consumer’s care continuum; access is not dependent on current phase of illness or symptoms. If a consumer is eligible for services from the CMHT they are eligible for CCRS to work in parallel where rehabilitation needs exist.
Clinical rehabilitation is planned and undertaken in conjunction with the consumer and their other care and treatment services. It is provided via home visits, at community venues and CMHT locations. Every consumer at CCRS is supported to develop a strength-based individual rehabilitation plan which includes their rehabilitation targeted goals, agreed actions and timeframes.
CCRS has a multidisciplinary team which comprises peer specialists, psychologists, occupational therapists, a social worker and co-morbidity specialists.
