From Submission to Reform: QAMH Advocacy Reflections on 2025 Year-End Reports

Latest news

Real advocacy impact isn’t always visible the day a submission is lodged.

It shows up later in final reports, policy shifts and reform directions that reflect what our sector has been calling for.

That impact is built through the collective voice of peak bodies representing members, communities and lived experience across Queensland’s community mental health sector.

In December 2025, three major national reforms were finalised:

  • PHN Business Model Review
  • Mandatory registration of NDIS platform providers
  • Productivity Commission’s Delivering Quality Care More Efficiently inquiry

These processes shape how services are funded, regulated and delivered. They matter to every organisation working on the ground across our state.

Our new short report outlines how shared, member-led advocacy including QAMH’s contributions helped influence these outcomes, and where stronger recognition of community-based mental health is still needed as reforms move into implementation.

Read the report to see the impact of our shared voice and reflect on the progress we’ve made together.
