Vision 2030 for mental health and suicide prevention in Australia
The Vision 2030 project connected with people with lived experience of mental ill-health, their families, supporters, and communities, and with the service providers and clinical experts who deliver mental health care, to inform a shared vision for mental health and suicide prevention. Their voices provide a starting point for the ongoing work of investing in mental health and transforming mental health care.
Vision 2030 is a blueprint for a connected, effective, well-functioning and sustainable mental health and suicide prevention system designed to meet the needs of all individuals and their communities. Achieving this new approach requires an integrated, coordinated, and collaborative system.
Vision 2030 highlights five areas for focused development at all levels in the mental health system:
- Integrated approaches to mental health and social support
- Co-development of regional and community mental health systems that address local needs
- Care navigation services to support priority populations to access the support they need, when they need it
- Community hubs as focal points for mental health and access to integrated mental health and social support services
- A national framework to guide consistent planning, funding, and development of mental health services at all levels with a robust data collection and evaluation strategy to support a balance between evidence-based services and flexible, innovative approaches.
