The Government is inviting all consumers, families, carers, supporters and professionals for their input as part of a survey on the reformed mental health system.
Consultation for the draft Mental Health and Wellbeing Outcomes and Performance Framework is now open. The Labor Government is bringing lived experience to the heart of the mental health system and this survey will help analyse whether the reforms are helping Victorians receive the help and support they need.
Delivering on a key recommendation of the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System—this performance framework ensures transparency and accountability, which is the key to delivering a successful system, an official press release said.
The survey will uncover the strengths of the draft framework, identify what is missing and provide a vision of what the new system will look like—working with mental health consumers, families and their supports every step of the reform process.
The Government has invested record amounts in Victoria’s mental health and wellbeing system since the Royal Commission’s final report was released and it’s important that this funding is delivering the world-class system that all Victorians deserve.
The Victorian Budget 2022/23 included $1.3 billion for mental health and wellbeing initiatives—building on last year’s record investment of $3.8 billion.
Since the Royal Commission delivered its final report, new services have opened and more Victorians are getting the help they need, with work underway on 90 per cent of the recommendations, the release added.
