WA Mental Health Services Plan

National Mental Health Strategy In part an acknowledgement of the broader national health reform agenda, including: Mental Health Reform agenda and commitment to National Mental Health Services planning National Mental Health Policy 1992 National Mental Health Plan, 1992–98 Medicare Agreements Second National Mental Health Plan,1998–03 Australian Health Care Agreements National Mental Health Plan 2003–08 Australian Health Care Agreements COAG National Action Plan for Mental Health National Mental Health Policy 2008 Fourth National Mental Health Plan States and Territory mental health policies, plans and strategies Current State plans exist in Victoria, NSW, SA, Queensland, ACT and Tasmania. The last endorsed WA MH Plan was in 1996.

Fourth National Mental Health Plan Action 16 in the Fourth National Mental Health Plan: An agenda for collaborative government action in mental health Action 16: Develop a National Mental Service Planning Framework that establishes targets for the mix and level of the full range of mental health services, backed by innovative funding models. This action is considered one of the foundation actions of the 4th plan and the Commonwealth provided $2 million to NSW and Qld Governments to develop the framework in collaboration with all jurisdictions The project is known as the National Mental Health Service Planning Framework (NMHSPF)

National Mental Health Service Planning Framework Key objectives Nationally consistent - an Australian Average estimate of need, demand and resources Flexible and Portable - to suit jurisdictional priorities and other variations in a user friendly format Not all, but many - will not account for every circumstance or service possibly required Not who, but what - will capture the types of care required, but will not define who is to deliver Includes intersectoral linkages with housing, employment and education Evidence & Expertise - identify what services should be provided underpinned by evidence

The National MH planning framework methodology can give us a WA Framework that does the following: Enables us to do State-wide population based planning to determine the evidence based blue print for Mental Health services into the future including: The detail for the mix and level of services including taxonomies and facilities guidelines The detail for the mix and level of services including standards, care packages & pathways Informing costing for example cost benchmarking; cost weights; activity based funding models

WA Mental Health Service Plan WEEK 8 this week and counting down … Service Mapping completed and modelling work commenced Steering Committee & Consultation groups(CG) have met regularly since August and provided with policy context, rationale for national mental health services planning and scope of the work being undertaken CG Provided with an overview of the process for development of the National Framework and definitions and endorsed the process Models of service have been reviewed and recommended Groups have been provided with the key aspects of the methodology for development of the WA Framework and will be provided with a summary of the current WA estimates produced by the model at the next meeting A series of targeted forums are underway to ensure consideration of populations with unique needs, including consumers, carers and family members,Aboriginal communities, people living in rural and remote areas, multicultural and youth Online feedback survey is available on the MHC website

To Deliver … WA Mental Health Services Framework Applies National Mental Health Services Planning Framework to inform and determine the type/quantity of services required for WA Maps existing services Identifies gaps and imbalances Informs and aligns with the WA Health Clinical Services Framework The WA Mental Health Services Plan Will assist in developing strategic directions and priorities based on demand modelling and expert opinion, balancing short and long terms goals, and ensuring appropriate resource application Will describe key demand drivers for future mental health service planning in WA and apply them to the WA context to predict future requirements Will not seek to specify how services will be delivered at a local level – further consultation and consideration of local issues and services is required to determine how to best deliver services at a local level
