Collaborative Action Programme
Disability and Mental Health Services
UnitingCare Wesley Adelaide

The Collaborative Action Programme works in partnership with Mental Health Services for Older People and the Royal District Nursing Service to support older people with multiple and complex needs in their community.

The Collaborative Action Programme provides a range of practical and social and treatment options to enable older people who have a mental illness and complex needs to have an enhanced quality of life, and the support to thrive in their own homes and communities.

Services are provided within a Mental Health Reovery Framework to enable people to increase their independence and community participation.
