The Recognise, Respond and Refer program (RRR) will support primary health care proefessionals in improving system responsiveness and outcomes for people experiencing Domestic and Famliy Violence (DFV).
To assist this, three DFV linkers have been engaged to provide support for general practices, and minimise the waiting times for patient referral to appropriate services. The DFV Linker will be able to offer your practice advice, support and information to better enable identification and response to domestic and family violence. Three organsiations have been engaged:
Publicly available mental health information and self-help resources.
Self-help resources and low intensity interventions, including digital mental health, group and peer supports.
A mix of self-help resources, including digital mental health and low intensity interventions. Also psychological services for individuals who require them.
High intensity services including periods of intensive intervention that may involve multidisciplinary support. Where issues may be persistent or episodic without a high level of risk, complexity or disability.
Intensive team-based specialist assessment and intervention (typically state/territory mental health services) with involvement from a range of different mental health professionals including case managers, psychiatrists, allied health workers, and GPs. Includes a high level of risk, disability or complexity.
