Resolute Mental Health Care
Resolute Mental Health Care
The first service of its kind in Australia, Resolute has constructed and is executing a comprehensive vision for the future, where the integration of high-quality clinical services is easily available and proudly led by two military psychiatrists.
Most importantly, this system of care places the veteran and their family at the centre of all decision-making. This ensures autonomy and self-agency are maintained.
Resolute understands we veterans exist in families and families exist within communities. This recognition means layers of support can be developed as an effective channel for restoring meaning and wellbeing.
The value of employment opportunities, social gatherings to reflect, and sharing time with our loved ones cannot be understated. Resolute is a signal to those of us prepared to make a career of the profession of arms. We cater to the four crucial pillars of service delivery.
Health and Wellbeing
A military career can be incredibly challenging on the body and mind. Accordingly, Resolute provides simplified and streamline access to medical, mental health, hearing, legal, financial, and dental practitioners, with a particular focus on family support and wellbeing programmes.
Advocacy
The complexities of claims processes within the Department of Veteran Affairs can be stressful. Welfare and advocacy services are available to veterans and their families to provide invaluable assistance and guidance throughout the DVA claims process and other supports available to them. With efficiency in mind, Resolute helps navigate DVA medicolegal reports and evidence-based treatments where indicated.
Transition
Resolute ensures that ex-servicemen and women are best positioned to remain socially engaged and connected, within a community that understands them. Con- sequently, the families of ex-servicemen and women find they are able to connect with individuals who have an intimate understanding of the challenges they may face in supporting their loved ones.
Employment
Finding and securing employment can be challenging for many men and women leaving the Australian Defence Force. Resolute enjoys privileged relationships with providers who can assist with this process, providing both training and support services where required.
