Key features include (i) a proactive acute psychiatric pathway for inpatients with acute mental health concerns; (ii) the Mind-body Program, an inpatient rehabilitation intervention for children disabled by functional neurological disorder symptoms; (iii) integration of consultation-liaison clinicians within paediatric subspecialties; and (iv) system level contributions through workforce training, supervision, and policy development. The service also extends its reach through statewide consultation and supervision. It has produced resources and training initiatives to build capacity beyond the tertiary setting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Children\u2019s Hospital at Westmead Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Service demonstrates how mental health care can be embedded within tertiary paediatrics through a model that combines clinical care with prevention, workforce development, and systems integration.
