Victorian Transcultural Psychiatry Unit - Directory of Mental Health Resources that have been translated for use by and for CALD patients

Multicultural Mental Health Australia – Directory of Mental Health Services for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds; translated mental health information; information on the latest research & projects, information on workshops, courses or conferences

The mental health program has also worked closely with the GP Mental Health Service Partnerships Project. This collaboration has seen the development of the Mental Health and Drug & Alcohol Service Directory for the Illawarra and Shoalhaven, and also the Psychological Services Directory, which is also available on-line on the Division’s website. A ‘referral pathway and triage’ flowchart to the Illawarra Mental Health and Drug, Alcohol and HIV/AIDS Services has also been developed along with a GP referral form to the services, with the aim of these resources to enhance and improve access and referral to the Illawarra Mental Health and Drug, Alcohol and HIV/AIDS Services.
