**About Us**

Monash Health is the largest public health service in Victoria, employing over 18,000 people who work across 40 locations delivering healthcare services through our five hospitals and our extensive network of rehabilitation, aged care, community health and mental health facilities.

Monash Health’s Aged Mental Health Service is organised to enhance patient flow, streamline decision making and deliver consistently high-quality services and positive experiences to our people, patients, carers and their families.

As key contributors to this Program, our Aged Persons Mental Health Services provide a range of community, bed-based and specialist services to patients in the Casey, Cardinia, Greater Dandenong, Kingston and Monash Local Government Areas.

The Aged Persons Mental Health services have seven teams within the program which are based in Kingston Centre, colloquially known as ‘Middle South’ and in Endeavour Hills. The Residential Support Program (RSP) is one such team that provides assessment and treatment for people aged 65 years and over, who have a psychiatric disability and/or dementia with associated behaviours of concern requiring specialist treatment and who live in a Residential Aged Care Facility or similar supported accommodation. RSP is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of health professionals. Working together, they provide a comprehensive person-centred approach to mental health care. The teams comprise Psychiatrists, Nurses, Social Workers, Occupational Therapists and Neuropsychologists.
