This means every decision – from the front desk to the boardroom – centres on what young people need. We work in partnership with Orygen to deliver seamless, person-centred care. Our singular focus on youth means we're not just providing mental health care - we're reimagining how it's experienced, accessed, and delivered.

  • Provide specialist mental health nursing interventions, effectively managing critical incidents and emergency situations.
  • Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to deliver evidence-based interventions.
