Queensland Plan for Mental Health 2007-2017

The Queensland Plan for Mental Health 2007-2017 (‘the Plan’) outlines the Queensland Government’s plan to reform and improve mental health service over the next 10 years.

The Plan challenges government, private sector, and non-government organisations to work collaboratively to provide recovery-oriented, consumer-focused mental health services that:

where possible prevent mental health problems and mental illness

promote recovery and build resilience
enable people who live with a mental illness to participate meaningfully in society.
