The service will be operated through a partnership between the Mental Health Commission, Department of Health, St John WA and the East Metropolitan Health Service, and will offer:
- Virtual triage, assessment and urgent care to Triple Zero (000) callers in the metropolitan area aged 16 years and above, where mental health is the primary cause for concern.
