As part of the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health Services recommendations, in 2022 Turning Point was appointed the Statewide Centre for Addiction and Mental Health to provide leadership, clinical services, education and training and research into the area of integrated care for co-occurring addiction and mental illness.
In collaboration with the Design Health Collab at Monash University, Turning Point undertook a process of consultation with over 40 stakeholders across the AOD and MH sectors to identify key challenges, enablers and priorities for integrated care service delivery going forward.
This presentation will provide high-level insights into what we heard during the consultation process, from people with lived and living experience, frontline clinicians and service providers; and an overview of future directions for the Statewide Service.
