On November 2nd 2015, the Severe Behaviour Response Teams (SBRT) were launched nationally. This unique program, funded by the Federal Government, is a mobile workforce of clinical experts, skilled in treating behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. Upon request, the SBRT provide timely and expert advice to residential aged care providers, to address the needs of people with the most severe and extreme behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia.

This presentation will provide an overview of the service model, and some case studies to highlight how the service operates.
