This team is based in Albany but provides outreach services across the region and has a regular visiting clinic in the town of Katanning. The psychiatrist also works with the local geriatrics team to run the memory service. The Older Adult Team has been successful in obtaining funding for innovative projects novel in dementia. The team and the service welcome ideas for service improvement or research which can benefit clinicians and patients.
