•  Create standardised training packages that can be rigorously evaluated to ensure that training outcomes are being achieved

•  Establish sustainable systems and processes that effectively identify, store and equitably share mental health learning materials within Queensland Health

•  Support the implementation of the National and State Mental Health Policies and Plans
