Interest has developed in the use of mental health consumers as staff members in community programmes for persons with serious mental illness. The present study investigates consumer service delivery in a mobile assessment programme designed to assist homeless people with severe psychiatric disorders. Consumer and non-consumer staff were generally comparable. Results suggest that consumer staff engaged in more street outreach and were less often dispatched for emergencies. There was a trend for consumer staff to be more likely to certify their clients for hospitalisation. In sum, consumer staff appear to provide a valuable contribution to this form of service delivery.
