Bassendean Individualised Support

The Bassendean service is a 12-bed residential program supporting adults (18-65 years) with complex mental health challenges. This medium to long-term service provides 24/7 psychosocial support in a safe, inclusive environment.  

The service focuses on working with residents to develop individualised support plans.  

With a trauma informed, person-centred and recovery-based approach, staff support residents to develop and reach individual goals, work towards independent living skills and develop social skills and coping strategies to better manage their mental health.  

Residents engage in both group activities and individualised recovery sessions.  

• Aged 18-64 years of age.
• Formal diagnosis of mental health disorder (must be the primary concern).
• Must be willing to actively participate in their recovery journey.
• Suitable for individuals requiring 4-5 hours of support per day.
• As the unit is shared with others, individuals need to be fairly independent in respect to independent living skills such as cooking, cleaning, daily activities, and have a good understanding with respect to their mental health, including coping strategies and awareness of triggers.
• Please note that Bassendean provides support for adults, and is unable to provide accommodation for children, couples, families, or pets at this time.
