Child and Adolescent Health Service

The Child and Adolescent Health Service (CAHS) is a comprehensive service that supports and treats children from around Western Australia, and is committed to programs that promote lifelong health in children and adolescents.

Our vision of ‘healthy kids, healthy communities’ sees that children and young people get the best start in life through health promotion, early identification and intervention and patient centred, family-focused care.

CAHS is made up of three service streams:

• Community Health: a comprehensive range of community based early identification and intervention services, as well as health promotion, to children and families in the Perth metropolitan area. Services are provided in a variety of settings including at home, local community health centres, child and parent centres and schools.
• Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS): provide mental health services to infants, children, young people and their families across the Perth metropolitan area. Services include community based programs, inpatient care at Perth Children’s Hospital and specialised services for children with complex mental health conditions across the State.
• Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH): is the specialist statewide paediatric hospital and trauma centre for Western Australia, caring for children up to the age of 16. PCH is also a centre of excellence for teaching and research, partnering in major paediatric research and education initiatives led by the Telethon Kids Institute (TKI) and the State’s universities.
