About
South Metropolitan Health Service awarded a contract to Ruah Community Services for the provision of lived experience mental health, alcohol and other drug (AOD) peer workers at Fiona Stanley Hospital Mental Health Service.
The contract covers a pool of peer workers equating to two full-time equivalent (76 hours per fortnight) to support individuals with mental health and AOD issues, including referral and post-discharge community access.
This grant reflects a growing trend in Australian healthcare to integrate peer support workers with lived experience into clinical settings, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing readmission rates.
