The specialist public mental health system consists of clinical services and psychiatric disability rehabilitation and support services (PDRSS). Clinical mental health services are managed by public hospitals and provide assessment, diagnosis, treatment and clinical case management to people with a serious mental illness. Psychiatric disability rehabilitation and support services are provided by non-government community organisations. Specialist clinical mental health services in Victoria are provided on an area basis, and are often referred to as area mental health services (AMHS). They include adult mental health services, child and adolescent mental health services, and aged persons mental health services. Each of these service categories provides inpatient psychiatric services, in addition to a range of residential and other community-based services.
