ACIL Allen, on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Health, called for submissions on the draft National Mental Health Workforce Strategy.
The National Mental Health Consumer & Carer Forum (NMHCCF) submitted a response to the call for submissions on 30 September 2021.
The Australian Government has engaged an independent Taskforce to develop a ten-year National Mental Health Workforce Strategy (Strategy). The Strategy will consider the quality, supply, distribution and structure of the mental health workforce; and will identify practical approaches that could be implemented by Australian governments to attract, train and retain the workforce required to meet the demands of the mental health system in the future.
A Consultation Draft Strategy has been developed, supported by a Background Paper that summarises the evidence on which the Consultation Draft Strategy is based. The Taskforce is seeking comment on the Consultation Draft Strategy.
A final Strategy will be provided to Government in late 2021.
The NMHCCF’s submission focused on the following key points:
