Mental Health Report: Reasons for Optimism

The Central West Mental Health Roundtable is a collaboration between us, the Western Queensland Primary Health Network and the Rural Financial Counseling Service North Queensland.

In 2018, the Roundtable sought to better understand what is happening ‘on the ground’, enable greater advocacy across provider networks, and examine opportunities to improve access and service linkage and integration

The Roundtable highlighted the significant work already being done in the Central West, with participants sharing a plethora of examples that are working well through a passionate, motivated and skilled assortment of individuals and organisations established in the region.

Funding arrangements for mental health are complex and dispersed across Commonwealth and State governments agencies, as well and philanthropic contributions. Further to this complexity is the clinical governance requirements of multiple organisations, program guidelines and recruitment and retention challenges.

The Roundtable discussions highlighted the importance of collaboration, exercising organisational agility and flexibility and create a ‘team approach’ through better integration and advocacy.
