Roadmap for Mental Health Reform
The Australian Government released a draft of the ‘Ten Year Roadmap for Mental Health Reform’ on 17 January and is currently seeking public feedback through an online survey.
According to Government, the Roadmap aims to provide a measurable, long-term national reform plan for mental health to ensure Australia’s mental health system ranks as one of the world’s best. The Network of Carers Associations will release a statement on ‘Carers and Mental Health Reform,’ including the Roadmap, in the coming weeks.
