Abstract

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) has its onset during childhood or adolescence for more than 80% of the 1 in 50 people living with the condition. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy (National Health and Medical Research Council Level 1 Evidence) achieves long-term remission in 70% of patients yet the typical time from symptom onset to treatment delivery is 17 years. Even then, ERP is offered by only 6% of therapists. Children with OCD have the highest school absenteeism across Australia relative to like conditions. In NSW, children with OCD have the greatest psychiatric hospital admission length of stay and readmission rate, resulting in a conservative state-wide annual admission cost estimate of A$2 million. Here, we describe the case for, and development of, OCD BOUNCE – a new state-wide clinical capacity-building programme that is amplifying consumer and clinician voices to transform care for children and young people living with OCD and related disorders using a tiered, scalable framework.
