About Clarity.
Our vision is to be Australia's most impactful provider of comprehensive mental health care in the community.
Founded in 2013, Clarity Health Care aims to provide an alternative to the hospital setting for individuals experiencing severe mental illness.
The team comprises psychiatrists, psychologists, occupational therapists, mental health social workers, and registered nurses to provide evidence-based care through various modalities that are flexible and accessible to all consumers. Clarity Health Care's workforce design emphasises collaboration and continuity of care, guided by the recovery model and bio-psycho-social model. The organisation has experience in managing complex cases and offers nationally delivered services through telehealth and clinics in Victoria and Tasmania.
Our model is proven to deliver recovery outcomes, with one review showing a 90% reduction in psychiatric hospital readmissions due to our intervention.
Clarity's evidence-based approach has earned recognition through funding arrangements with North Western Melbourne PHN for the delivery of the Head to Health service, supporting people with complex mental illness as part of the Brimbank Mental Health and Wellbeing Local, and a hospital substitution program for private health insurers.
