Mobile Intensive Rehabilitation Team (MIRT)

The Mobile Intensive Rehabilitation Team (MIRT) provides intensive rehabilitation-focused, case-management support to mental health consumers experiencing complex and enduring mental health issues. Consumers of MIRT require increased supports to assist with recovery from major mental illness, frequent or lengthy inpatient admissions, reduced engagement with services, and/or difficulty with completing meaningful tasks that support independent living in the community. The team offers a combination of clinical and non-clinical support to consumers to address both mental health needs and improve overall quality of life.

MIRT is a multidisciplinary team that includes a consultant psychiatrist, a psychiatric registrar, mental health nurses, occupational therapists, social workers, rehabilitation assistants and a recovery support worker.

Consumers of MIRT who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander can also be supported by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Worker who works closely with the team.
