Abstract

The Queensland Mental Health Commission (the Commission) in partnership with the Queensland Alliance for Mental Health (QAMH), have undertaken a systematic analysis of the non-government community mental health sector in Queensland to gain a comprehensive understanding of its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges. The purpose of this analysis is to inform strategic action in the non-government community mental health sector in Queensland over the next five years and to achieve a fundamental shift from managing illness to actively supporting wellbeing. This shift is also outlined as a priority in the QAMH’s Wellbeing First report. It also aligns with the Commission’s broader Queensland government’s vision, articulated in Shifting minds: The Queensland Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drugs, and Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan 2023–2028 (Shifting minds). The primary aim is to reorientate the mental health system towards communitybased services and supports. The systematic analysis explores and critically evaluates the current state of the sector and offers a roadmap for moving beyond existing models of care. This is an opportunity to maximise the potential of the non-government community mental health sector and embrace its unique offering within the broader mental health system.
