Clinicians within the team complete high-quality and timely mental health, alcohol and other drug triages to determine the most appropriate treatment and care pathways for infants, children and young people. Referrals are received in written and telephone form, with the triage process undertaken primarily by phone. Triage clinicians, under established governance structures, provide clinical advice, recommendations and referrals.
Senior clinicians demonstrate leadership in the ongoing development of the Child and Youth Triage team and the broader Acute Intervention Services programme, provide direct support to RPN3 clinicians rostered on shift with them. Senior clinicians will at times be required to act up as the Phone Triage Manager when the manager is on leave and are also responsible for shift coordination functions such as help managing staffing emergent shortfalls.
