The Outreach teams mainly consists of nurses and care workers and operate with a case management system working in collaboration with social workers, occupational therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists and community agencies to provide a holistic service for service users in the community.

The Outreach service involves working with people with severe mental disorders or vulnerable people with mental illness who require intensive psychiatric intervention. Key workers at Outreach work with service users to (a) manage illness and symptoms (treatment), (b) provide guidance and practical assistance with daily living, (c) rehabilitation and (d) provide recovery support.

Outreach key workers aim to ensure continuity of care, early intervention to prevent deterioration and maximum function, as well as to prevent admissions to psychiatric hospital and to reintegrate the service users in the community following discharge from hospital. Aims include wellbeing and highest quality of life.
