How to access the EEP Program

Normally people access the service through Mimidi Park Inpatient Unit and PaRK Mental Health but General Practitioners may make referrals to the Rockingham Kwinana Mental Health Service Early Episode Psychosis Program. Referral forms are obtained from RKMHS reception. The Early Episode Team assesses the referral and notifies the referrer of the decision.
