Older Persons Mental Health has a close working relationship with Older Persons Health in-patient and community geriatric services, as well as Adult Specialist Mental Health, primary care medical, and other community services providing treatment and support for older people.

Currently, a team of ten psychiatrists lead interdisciplinary teams providing: inpatient care in two purpose-built wards at Burwood Hospital (opened June 2016), a mental health day hospital, a memory assessment clinic, a large mental health community team, and an old age psychiatry consult liaison team.
