Choices operates in the south of Tasmania in partnership with the Royal Hobart Hospital. The program receives referrals for people while they are in inpatient facilities such as the Department of Psychiatry, or other mental health residential or respite accommodation. The program then supports people in the community following discharge, with the aim to assist their reintegration and reduce their need for readmission.
Often the circumstances leading to their admission include homelessness, in which cases we provide accommodation and intensive psychosocial support, allowing timely exit from inpatient services. Choices provides time limited support up to12 weeks to assist people to transition back into the community – offering a higher level of coordination when people need it most.
Choices is an evidence-informed person-centred program where the person receiving support will identify what they would like to work on and set appropriate goals, such as securing stable long-term housing.
Baptcare wants to help you to know about your rights. You have the right to tell us what you think about the services you are receiving from Baptcare.
