About the program

The Community Rehabilitation and Support Workers will work within the Intensive Home Support Services (IHBSS) program. IHBSS is aimed at people aged 16 years and over who have experienced acute episodes of mental illness. In practice, people often have a range of other complex needs as well. Each person is provided with up to three months of intensive support in their home either after leaving a hospital as a way of ‘stepping down’, or ‘stepping up’ to receiving support as a way to avoid a hospital admission. Referrals are made through community mental health teams.

The hours of service will reflect the needs of the consumers and therefore some extended hours coverage is expected.
