Mental Health Consultation Liaison Nurses Association NSW and ACT

NSW and ACT Consultation Liaison Mental Health Nurses are a group of mental health nurses who share a common philosophy of providing the best possible care to people with mental health problems in the emergency department and wards in a general hospital setting.

We provide the link between mental health services and general medicine and surgical services, hospital and community settings, and between various community organisations that service people with mental health problems.

We help the treating nurses, doctors and allied health workers develop skills and confidence caring for people with mental health problems by providing support, education, mentoring and being a role model.

This aims to enhance the confidence and skills to all health providers so that high quality patient care is maintained.
