10 year mental plan
January 18, 2012
MENTAL Health and Ageing
Minister Mark Butler yesterday
released a draft Ten Year Roadmap
for National Mental Health Reform,
seeking feedback under a public
consultation process.
Developed under the direction of
the Council of Australian
Governments, comments on the
plan will be used to help finalise
the roadmap, for COAG to consider
in early 2012.
Key directions outlined include
promoting good mental health and
preventing suicide, early detection
and intervention, supporting
patients to participate in society,
keeping consumers and carers at
the centre, and making services
work for people.
An online survey tool to gather
the community’s views on the
roadmap is available until 01 Feb at
www.health.gov.au/mentalhealth.
