Neurodiversity and complex mental health

Health professional information

View Patient Information
We assess children and youth aged from birth to 25 years who have complex psychiatric and medical presentations.

Clinical service overview

Our multidisciplinary team specialises in conditions that are complex and involve the intersection of psychiatry, neurology, medicine and disability, including:

  • Emotional, social and behavioural difficulties
  • Learning difficulties
  • Complex autism spectrum disorders
  • Co-occurring mental health and intellectual disabilities

The team works to support the families of children and young people and to prevent secondary psychiatric impairment by means of early detection and management of dual disabilities.

Special referral instructions

Referrals typically come from paediatricians, psychologists, GPs, other allied health and schools. Call the intake worker to discuss a potential referral prior to faxing the referral form. This is to ensure that there is not a delay in treatment if the client is not suitable for the service. If the intake worker accepts the verbal referral, complete the ICYAMHWS referral form and fax to the service.
