Community Care Unit (CCU)
Outer East

The Outer East Community Care Unit (OECCU) commenced operation in 1996. It is a cluster style residential facility located in the East Ringwood residential area. 

The OECCU offers assessment and ongoing psychosocial rehabilitation services to individuals aged between 16 years and 64 years of age with a significant and prolonged history of mental illness and associated deterioration in psychosocial function.

There are 20 beds accommodated in 9 self contained units.

Within the cluster style facility there are currently 4 beds, two self contained units that makes up the Maroondah Psychosocial Assessment and Rehabilitation Centre (Maroondah PARC) Program.

Clients accepted to Maroondah PARC undertake a two week comprehensive psychosocial rehabilitation assessment, which includes evaluation of their physical and mental well being, occupational and cognitive functioning. This is thought to be the first assessment program of its kind within public mental health services of Victoria.

All clients accepted into the psychosocial rehabilitation program must have completed the Maroondah PARC assessment program. Unlike other Area Mental Health Services the OECCU does not operate as a front line referral service. All referrals are made via the client's Case Manager.
