What Can You Expect From CAH PIR?

Central Adelaide and Hills Partners In Recovery (CAH PIR) aims to assist services and supports to work in a more collaborative, coordinated and integrated way for people with severe and persistent mental illness and complex needs, and their carers and families.

CAH PIR works in partnership with the community, primary health care providers and partner organisations to provide high quality, person-centred, equitable and accessible healthcare and support to our local community.

Support Facilitators will work with clients to identify how services could be better coordinated, and strengthen the relationships between their services.

Referral to Central Adelaide and Hills Partners In Recovery can be made by calling 1800 894 448 and you will be guided through the referral process.

Alternatively, you can request a copy of the Central Adelaide and Hill Medicare Local Mental Health referral form by emailing mental.health@cahml.org.au

You can also ask your support worker to assist you to put a referral into CAH PIR.

You can also ‘walk in’ to one of the agencies listed in this brochure and ask for a referral to be sent to CAH PIR.
