Who we are 

The Mental Health Hospital In The Home (MH HITH) service is a multidisciplinary team comprised of clinicians and lived experience (peer) workers that provide home-based care for people over the age of 18, experiencing acute mental illness. 

What we do 

We provide an alternative to hospital admission by delivering acute inpatient mental health treatment in a home setting, allowing for greater flexibility to meet patient, family and carer needs and preferences. Our service offers care tailored to every patient’s therapeutic goals while maintaining more active family and carer involvement.

Who can access this service? 

Our services are available to adults over 18 years of age with acute mental illness that are able to be safely cared for in the home environment.   

How to access this service  

Referrals for admissions are through 1300 MH CALL (1300 64 22 55) and patients of other Queensland Health services (e.g. Crisis Stabilisation Unit, Emergency Departments, Community Services).

Our location  

Our team is based at Gold Coast University Hospital and provides services across the Gold Coast region.
