The Tasmanian Mental Health Services Collection comprises all episodes of mental health treatment in the public system. The collection captures service contacts (occasions of service) attached to the treatment episode and outcome measure assessments.

Comprises all episodes of mental health treatment in the public system for consumers that occurred in the following settings:
• Specialised psychiatric acute inpatient units;
• Other acute medical wards where the admission care type was “Mental Health Care”;
• Specialised psychiatric extended and residential treatment units;
• Community ambulatory comprising Child and Adolescent, Adult, and Older Persons specialised teams.

Service contacts (occasions of service) attached to the consumer’s treatment episode are available in this dataset. Mental Health outcome measure assessments attached to the consumer’s treatment episode are also available in this dataset. Treatment episode and service contact data are available from July 2013 onward. Mental Health outcome measure assessment data is available from January 2017 onward.

All data is sourced from the state-wide patient administration system iPM PAS.

Datasets for some years are incomplete due to industrial and other action that has resulted in some data points not being recorded during those periods.
