Location Profile The Austin School is in the Northwest corner of the grounds of the Austin Hospital in Heidelberg.
The Austin School is a P-12 School that provides specialised educational programs for children and young people who are patients of Austin Health and Austin Infant Child and Youth Mental Health Service (ICYMHS). Whilst there are places for fifty fulltime students, many students attend the school in a part time capacity. In total the 16.2 effective full time (EFT) school teaching staff may see up to one hundred students each term and usually more than four hundred students each year.
Students must be referred to the School by Austin Health. Student referrals come from the Austin Infant Child & Youth Mental Health Service (ICYMHS), either inpatient or outpatient teams, the Paediatric Ward, or Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Hospital. All students have a physical and/or mental health diagnosis. Mental health diagnosis may include psychiatric, emotional, or behavioural problems. Physical health problems may include eating disorders, spinal injuries, acquired brain injury, neurological conditions, liver and renal disease, chronic fatigue syndrome and a range of other medical conditions.
Outpatient programs are conducted on a school term basis, whilst the length of each inpatient admission will vary from a few days to a few months.

Students
Students who are residential, or inpatient, usually come from across Victoria, but sometimes from interstate or overseas. Outpatient programs draw students from the local community, in particular the Northwest Region of Department of Education and Training (DET). These students attend daily or sessionally.
The student population is comprised of a diverse cultural, ethnic, and socio-economic group. All student placements are transient. Educational programs for outpatients are conducted on a term basis, whilst inpatient programs cater to the needs of students during their time of their admission
