Consultation-liaison (C-L) psychiatry as a service entity has developed slowly and to a variable extent in Australia despite the presence of factors conducive to its development. These include a compulsory national health insurance system and a favorable disposition to the biopsychosocial model and to psychoanalytic ideas. C-L psychiatry, however, does enjoy a high profile in many undergraduate medical and postgraduate psychiatry teaching programs. Research on C-L psychiatry is emerging, complementing a strong history of research in psychosomatic medicine. An Australian and New Zealand C-L psychiatry interest group is being formed. Collaboration with the MICRO-CARES Consortium and the European Consultation-Liaison Workgroup is proving to be a great stimulus.
尽管存在有利于其发展的因素，但作为一种服务实体，会诊联络（C-L）精神病学在澳大利亚的发展较为缓慢且程度不一。这些因素包括强制性的国家医疗保险制度以及对生物心理社会模型和精神分析理念的认同倾向。然而，C-L精神病学在许多本科医学和研究生精神病学教学项目中确实备受关注。关于C-L精神病学的研究正在兴起，这对心身医学悠久的研究历史起到了补充作用。一个澳大利亚和新西兰的C-L精神病学兴趣小组正在组建。事实证明，与MICRO-CARES联盟和欧洲会诊联络工作组的合作是一个巨大的推动因素。
