To make it accessible to the widest rural patient population we use telehealth or Skype consultations and or co-joint consultations with their General Practitioners and carers. The five Mental Health Nurses allow case management approach to optimise acute care and also chronic disease management in Toowoomba, Goondiwindi, Western Downs and Lockyer Valley under the funding of Darling Downs and West Moreton PHN.
