A fundamental outcome of the ADF Mental Health Strategy has been the development of a multi-disciplinary mental health service delivered through Garrison Health that:
- facilitates access for ADF members to the most appropriate services
- is cost effective and avoids duplication of services
- facilitates early identification and intervention
- is governed by common doctrine and procedures
- has centralised supervision
- conforms to privacy and confidentiality requirements.
In addition to clinical services provided by Garrison Health, the ADF Centre for Mental Health (ADFCMH) develops and delivers a robust set of mental health prevention and early intervention programs; provides consultancy services; delivers mental health training and upskilling programs for the ADF health workforce; and implements a range of mental health promotion initiatives.
Mental Health and Psychology Services provide both mental health assessment and treatment and/or occupational psychology assessments. Medical Officers and mental health and psychology personnel are supported where necessary by ‘off base’ contracted service providers and mental health specialists.
