Profile: https://healthterminologies.gov.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/complete-code-system-4

This code system http://digitalhealth.gov.au/fhir/hcpd/CodeSystem/iar-levels-of-care defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
1 Level 1 (self-management)Evidence-informed, appropriate, and culturally safe resources and other forms of self-help.
2 Level 2 (low intensity interventions)Evidence‑based mental health treatments or interventions designed for quick and easy access, typically delivered through a small number of brief sessions or via a structured, manualised program. These services focus on teaching proven strategies to help individuals manage symptoms of mental illness and/or psychological distress.
3 Level 3 (moderate intensity interventions)Services that deliver structured, reasonably frequent, and individually tailored treatment for mental health symptoms or psychological distress. Access usually requires a referral from a GP or mental health professional.
4 Level 4 (high intensity interventions)Services that provide periods of intensive, multi‑disciplinary support and care coordination, as multiple providers are often involved. Support may be required over long durations or intermittently as a person’s mental health fluctuates.
5 Level 5 (specialist and acute services)Specialist mental healthcare involves intensive, team‑based assessment and treatment—usually delivered by state or territory mental health services—and includes coordinated support from case managers, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, and drug and alcohol workers. It may also involve more intensive care provided by GPs working closely with acute and specialist teams.
