Forensicare (Victorian Institute of Forensic Mental Health) is Victoria’s leading provider of forensic mental health care. We work to meet the needs of consumers with serious mental illnesses across the justice system, mental health sectors and the community.

At Forensicare, we acknowledge that COVID-19 is still in the community even though pandemic orders have ended. Hence, our COVID-19 information has evolved to reflect these changes.

Pandemic-level precautions have changed to regular transmission-based precautions, such as when dealing with other infectious diseases. Updated 28 October 2024

We deliver a range of mental health programs targeted at patients with different needs at different stages of recovery; from early intervention and prevention, inpatient care, rehabilitation and community transition support.

Expand your knowledge and understanding of forensic behaviour and mental health issues through our comprehensive research, educational and training programs at Forensicare.  Our programs are highly-regarded, evidence-based and delivered by some of the most experienced clinicians and researchers in the field of forensic mental health.
