For individuals with forensic mental health needs, navigating recovery can be complex. Holisticare offers specialised support under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) to help individuals reintegrate into the community, develop independence, and build a brighter future. Our person-centred approach ensures tailored support for those who have had interactions with the criminal justice system while managing mental health conditions.
What is Forensic Mental Health?
Forensic mental health refers to the intersection of mental health and the justice system. Individuals with forensic mental health needs may have experienced incarceration, court orders, or supervised treatment due to conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or other psychiatric diagnoses that may have influenced their behaviour. Recovery in this context requires structured support, professional guidance, and a clear pathway to stability and well-being.

- Psychosocial Recovery Coaching – To help build resilience and recovery strategies.
- Support Coordination – Assisting with access to services and resources.
