Each respective program has a referral form. Please email community@scrosswa.org.au and a member of our team will provide you with either our Community Options, Community Mental Health or Family and Carer Program referral form.
Referrals for Community Options
Referrals are accepted from various stakeholders for an individual who can meet the following eligibility criteria:
- Persistent and severe mental illness/es
- Require ongoing clinical support by public mental health services, which may also include a private psychiatrist or a general practitioner
- Extended inpatient (3 months or more) admissions to psychiatric inpatient facilities and/or have repeated failures at maintaining a place in other support accommodation programs
SCC (WA) does not waitlist clients for the Community Options program. Individuals who have previously been referred to Community Options will be required to complete a new referral package for each vacancy period.
Referrals for Community Mental Health
Individuals aged 18-65 can self-refer for the program or be referred by a GP or mental health clinical team.
Referrals for Family and Carer Support
Unpaid carers of someone experiencing a chronic and persistent mental health condition can self-refer for the program or be referred by a GP or mental health clinical team.
