About the Program

PARC serves as a step-down and step-up sub-acute mental health service for individuals within Western Health's catchment areas. Situated in a community setting, PARCs offer support to individuals who are experiencing a lapse in mental well-being or are in the early phases of recovery from acute conditions, requiring short-term additional support to reinforce progress made during inpatient care and facilitate a smooth transition back to the community. Clinical support at PARC is provided by the Area Mental Health Service, with the program running round the clock and covering day, evening, and overnight shifts.

The PARC service operates in partnership with Western Health, ensuring onsite clinical support including psychiatric consultations, nursing, and allied health services.
